Question 39-50
Galaxies are the major building blocks of the universe. A
galaxy is giant family of many millions of stars, and it is held
together by its own gravitational field. Most of the material
universe is organized into galaxies of stars together with
gas and dust.
There are three main types of galaxy: spiral, elliptical,
and irregular. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, a flattish disc
of stars with two spiral arms emerging from its central nucleus.
About one-quarter of all galaxies have this shape. Spiral
galaxies are well supplied with the interstellar gas in which
new stars form: as the rotating spiral pattern sweeps around
the galaxy it compresses gas and dust, triggering the formation
of bright young stars and in its arms. The elliptical galaxies have a
symmetrical elliptical or spheroidal shape with no obvious
structure. Most of their member stars are very old and since
ellipticals are devoid of interstellar gas, no new stars are forming
in them. The biggest and brightest galaxies in the universe
are ellipticals with masses of about 1013 times that of the Sun,
these giants may frequently be sources of strong radio
emission, in which case they are called radio galaxies. About two-
thirds of all galaxies are elliptical. Irregular galaxies comprise
about one-tenth of all galaxies and they come in many
subclasses.
