Stars and Galaxies

Author's Note: I wrote this essay because because I am thinking about doing my next project on Stars and Galaxies.


Stars have been a mystery for ages until now. The growing technology has aloud us to take a closer look at them. Galaxies and stars are very interesting things. There are a few different types of galaxies.

Stars are balls of hydrogen and helium. There are millions of them on our solar system alone. The sun is about 7,500 degrees fairinhight. In old times people thought heroes where turned into constellations after they died. There are also constellations that represent zodiac signs. For example, I am a "Pisces"(the fish)( I hope to do a project on Zodiac Signs). As I said earlier there are millions of stars in our galaxy alone.

Galaxies are a big group of stars, planets, and space dust. In our milky-way galaxy there are 8 planets and the sun. Another galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is over 2.4 million light-years away from us. there are 3 types of galaxies Elliptical, Spiral, and Irregular. Elliptical are shaped like balls or footballs they also have no axis of rotation. Spiral galaxies have three parts. A bulge, disk, and halo. The bulge is the center. The disk is made of gas and dust. And finally the halo is a loose structure around the bulge. Now lastly Irregular galaxies. They have no structure. They also have so much dust that the dust blocks the light from the stars.

Galaxies and stars are very interesting things and we know very much about them.We hope to learn more and be able to study them closer.
