(Celestial Objects)the Galaxythe spiral galaxy, approximately 100 000 light years in diameter, that contains the solar system about three fifths of the distance from its centre. Also known as:the Milky Way SystemSee alsoMagellanic Cloud
This is where the concept of the "observable universe" — the universe that we can see — comes into play. In 1 trillion to 2 trillion years, Livio said, this means that there will be galaxies that are beyond what we can see from Earth. "We can only see light from galaxies whose li...

"The light from these galaxies has been traveling for billions of years to reach the Earth; this means that we see the galaxies as they were billions of years ago, back when they were forming most of their stars," said Philip Best, of Britain's University of Edinburgh, who led...

As far as can be ascertained, the spiral arms always trail away from the direction of rotation.Galaxies possessing a large bulge and small disk, intermediate between the spirals and ellipticals, are known as S0 galaxies or lenticular galaxies. The disk shows no evidence for spiral arms, ...
We can estimate the age of the universe based on the rate of expansion. Because some galaxies are billions of light years away from us, we can discern that they formed fairly soon after the big bang (as you look deeper into space, you see further back in time). Most galaxies formed ...
