One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact. Another source of irregular galaxies may be very young galaxies that have not yet reached a symmetrical state. Also, in some irregular galaxies, like M82, young stars eject energetic bubbles gas, giving the galaxy a blobby look.

What is the estimated number of superclusters since there are 100 billion galaxies in the universe?

Ten superclusters.


What pulls superclusters together?

The gravitational attraction of the mass in the galaxies comprising the cluster.


Is Jupiter bigger than the local supercluster?

No, not at all. Jupiter is part of the Solar System, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which is part of the Local Group (of Galaxies), which is part of the Local Superclusters. Jupiter's mass is nothing when compared to the mass of Superclusters.


What do all the superclusters we can see compose?

All the superclusters we can see compose the large-scale structure of the universe, forming a vast network of galaxy clusters and groups. These superclusters are interconnected by filaments of dark matter and gas, creating a web-like structure known as the cosmic web. They represent the largest known gravitationally-bound structures, playing a crucial role in the distribution of galaxies and the evolution of the universe.

Why do galaxies clump together in clusters and superclusters?

Galaxies clump together in clusters and superclusters due to the force of gravity. Gravity pulls galaxies towards each other, causing them to form groups and larger structures. This clustering is a natural result of the way matter is distributed in the universe.


What are superclusters?

Superclusters are very large groupings of smaller galactic clusters. Superclusters are the largest known structures in the Universe, and since they are not gravitationally bound, they partake in the Hubble expansion. The Milky Way Galaxy is located in the Local Group, which in turn is located in the Virgo Supercluster.
