What forms in the great clouds of gas and dust in the spiral arms of a galaxy?
Stars form in the great clouds of gas and dust in the spiral arms of a galaxy.
What Galaxy has no particular shape and is rich in gas and dust?
a spiral galaxy
What is the name of Dark areas of gas and dust between the arms of a spiral galaxy?
Interstellar dust
What is the shape of our galaxy?
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy. It consists of a central bulge surrounded by spiral arms that contain stars, gas, and dust. We are located on one of the outer arms of the galaxy.
A flattened combination of matter containing stars gas and dust in a spiral galaxy can be identified as what?
A flattened combination of matter containing stars, gas, and dust in a spiral galaxy is identified as the galaxy's disk. This disk is where most of the galaxy's star formation occurs and contains the majority of its stars and interstellar material. The spiral arms within the disk are regions of higher density that enhance star formation.
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 a huge spiraling disk of stars and dust and gas called?
A huge spiraling disk of stars, dust, and gas is called a galaxy. The Milky Way is an example of a galaxy that contains our solar system.
What is a flattened combination of matter containing stars gas and dust in a spiral galaxy?
A flattened combination of matter containing stars, gas, and dust in a spiral galaxy is known as the galaxy's "disk." This disk structure is characterized by its spiral arms, where star formation occurs, and it contains most of the galaxy's visible matter. The disk is surrounded by a more spherical halo of stars, globular clusters, and dark matter.
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.
What is a flattened combination of matter containing stars gas and dust in a spiral galaxy can be identified as what?
A flattened combination of matter containing stars, gas, and dust in a spiral galaxy can be identified as the galaxy's disk. This structure typically features spiral arms that extend outward from the center, where the galaxy's bulge and often a supermassive black hole are located. The disk is where most of the galaxy's star formation occurs, making it rich in both young and old stars, as well as interstellar material.
You are looking through your telescope at the night sky and you see a pinwheel shaped object what do you think it is?
It is likely a spiral galaxy. Spiral galaxies are characterized by their pinwheel shape and are composed of a central bulge surrounded by spiral arms containing stars, gas, and dust. Examples of spiral galaxies include the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.
What is the shape of Andromeda?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).
