What is the bulge in the milky way galaxy?
The bulge in the Milky Way Galaxy is a central, dense region consisting of mostly older stars. It has a bulging, spherical shape and is thought to be around 10,000 light-years in diameter. The bulge is believed to contain a supermassive black hole at its center.
How might your view of the milky way be different if the sun were located inside the central bulge?
I'm going to give you both: Reality and fictional. The reality is, if our Sun was in the Central bulge, we wouldn't be alive to know what the sky would look like. As with most Galaxies, the central bulge is a giant Black Hole that devours anything that gets too close to it. However, with that fact aside if we were to be located there, the sky would have billions of stars. In fact, Earth would have no Night or day; it would only have day. There would most likely be a lot of gases, and we would see this as it swirled around us. Though we can see the gas within the Galaxy from earth (with our naked eye. It's part of that cloudy substance that we can see at night,) it is nothing compared to what we would see if we were located in the Central Bulge. At the Central Bulge, the night sky would most likely appear much like a Nebula; different colors of gas that would be easily visible from Earth. Furthermore, as I said, there would be billions of stars (Mostly young developing Stars)
What population stars are found in a sprial galaxy?
Population I (High metal content) stars are generally found in the arms of spiral galaxies, whereas population II (Medium metal content) are generally found towards the centre of the galaxies.
At the center of the local group is a collection of ancient stars referred to as the what?
At the center of the Local Group is a collection of ancient stars known as the Milky Way Galaxy. This galaxy is home to a significant number of old stars, many of which are located in its central bulge. Additionally, the Milky Way is surrounded by several other galaxies, including the Andromeda Galaxy and various dwarf galaxies, which together make up the Local Group.
Why would a black hole be surrounded by a bluge of stars?
Galaxies contain varying numbers of star systems, star clusters and types of interstellar clouds. In between these objects is a sparse interstellar medium of gas, dust, and cosmic rays. The bulge is actually the outline of a black hole's ergosphere, wherein such matter is being gravitationally attracted. It should also be noted that galaxies are actively evolving; i.e. providing for the birth of new stars, star systems, and star clusters. This process is more apparent in the areas of gravitational disruptions, like a galaxy's central black hole. Consequently, the sparse interstellar medium of gas and dust can form stars in the ergosphere area of a black hole due to the intense gravitational pressure and drag.
Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?
Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.
What is an examples of Bulges?
An example of a bulge in astronomy is the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way with a distinct central bulge of stars.
What is a central bulge?
Nothing to be trifled with. : P In astronomy it is the almost spherical layer of stars surrounding the center hub of our galaxy. A layer in the onion, so to speak. It is a widening near the core (the centre) of a galaxy and consists of mainly very old stars. Very rare for new stars to form because of the lack of dust and gases between the stars. Surrounding this central bulge is what's called the galactic halo, which is made up of individual stars.
What is the first portion of a galaxy that forms?
The first portion of a galaxy that forms is usually the central bulge, which consists of older stars and a dense concentration of matter. This is followed by the formation of the spiral arms as gas and dust are pulled towards the center, where new stars are born.
General structure of a Milky Way galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a central bulge, a disk made up of arms of gas, dust, and stars, and a halo of globular clusters. The central bulge contains older stars, while the disk is where younger stars are formed. The galaxy is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that extends beyond the visible components.
How are stars in the disk of the milky way different from stars in the bulge or halo?
The ones in the bulge or halo are older star, the ones in the disk are younger.
Name four different objects you can find in our galaxy?
A galaxy contains stars, gas and dust. In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a bulge-like central region and a halo, but do not have a disk.
What is the bulge in the milky way galaxy?
The bulge in the Milky Way Galaxy is a central, dense region consisting of mostly older stars. It has a bulging, spherical shape and is thought to be around 10,000 light-years in diameter. The bulge is believed to contain a supermassive black hole at its center.
What does the type of stars found in halo and bulge indicate?
The fact that the halo and bulge are made exclusively of old stars mean that those parts of the galaxy formed first and are filled with old stars
What is the shape of a Spiral Galaxy?
Spiral galaxies are named for the (usually two armed) spiral structures that extend from the centre into the disk.The spiral arms are sites of ongoing star formation and are brighter than the surrounding disk because of the young, hot stars.See related link for a pictorial representation.
What is in the milky way bulge?
Stars, gas, nebulas and black holes.
What is a Galaxy bugle?
A bulge is a tight group of stars found at the center of most spiral galaxies. The bright spot an the center of the galaxy in the picture above is the bulge. If this galaxy were seen from the side the collection of stars would create a bulge (spheroid) expanding out from the otherwise rather flat galaxy.
