A galaxy with a bulge at its center and spiral arms?

This type of galaxy is categorized as a spiral galaxy. The bulge at the center contains older stars, while the spiral arms consist of younger stars and gas and dust regions where new star formation occurs. The Milky Way is an example of a galaxy with a bulge and spiral arms.


Why are older stars located at the center of a spiral galaxy while younger stars make up arms of a spiral galaxy?

Older stars are generally towards the centre of a galaxy as they will be the first to accumulate around the galactic centre. Because they are older, there is less "free" hydrogen, so new star formation will occur wherever, there is enough matter to form a new star. This generally is around the outer edges of a galaxy.


What galaxy has arms where lots of new stars are being born?

The Milky Way galaxy has spiral arms where a lot of new stars are being born, including the Orion Arm where our solar system is located. These spiral arms are regions of higher density that promote the formation of new stars due to gravitational interactions between gas and dust.


What are the arms of a spiral galaxy?

They are objects that are confined to the arms of a galaxy, i.e. objects that only exist within the spiral arms, and are not found (except very rarely) outside of spiral arms. Examples of tracers are structures to do with star formation, like for example open star clusters, giant molecular clouds or supernova remnants.


What happens to interstellar gas as it passes through a spiral density wave?

As interstellar gas passes through a spiral density wave in a galaxy, it is compressed and triggers the formation of new stars. The increased density and pressure can also lead to the formation of massive star clusters or even the triggering of starburst events in galaxies.

What galaxy has the youngest stars?

Most new, young, stars can be found in the arms of spiral galaxies

Which type of galaxy is probably a young galaxy?

The "real" answer is a protogalaxy or primeaval galaxy as these are the first stages in the formation of a galaxy.However, it's more than likely, the question has to do with new star formation, in which case, it will be a spiral galaxy (but the galaxy is not young) Our galaxy - the Milky Way - is about 13.2 billion years old - almost as old as the Universe itself.


What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?

While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born


What type of galaxy has giant bright new stars around the edges and older stars in the middle?

a spiral galaxy like the milky way


How do you get the 121st star on super Mario galaxy?

you get every other star and get 100 purple coins on the new galaxy.


Where are nebulae located in spiral galaxies?

Nebulae are located within the spiral arms of spiral galaxies. These regions are areas of star formation where gas and dust clouds collide and condense, leading to the birth of new stars. The glowing gas and dust of nebulae can be seen as colorful patches within the spiral arms of galaxies like the Milky Way.


Why do you think new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the enter bulge?

well, my opinion would be because of the objects and the planets in our galaxie, the spiral galaxie.
