    MILKY WAY

     Milkyway – Spiral galaxy where our solar solar system


    can be found in the universe.
     The milky way contains roughly 200 billion stars, most of
    which are not visible from earth due to there distance
    from our planet.
     Our galaxy measures about 80,000 to 120,000 light
    years across and less than 7,000 light years thick.
     When describing solar systems, galaxies, and the univers, the key
    term that astronomers used is the size.
     Solar system are the smallest among the three systems.
     The system consist of a single sun as its host stars and all the
    objects that are affected by its gravity.
     This objects are the planets and their moons and rings, asteroids,
    comets, and meteroids that are in orbit in the space in the solar
    system.
     A galaxy I sa congregation of solar systems, stars, dust, and
    gasses held together by gravity.
     Within the galaxies, the solar systems are separated by vast
    sections of mostly empty space.
     The universe is the three astronomical systems.
     All kids of matter – including the space and energy that can be
    found within and beyond our solar system and those at the
    exterior of the galaxies– are components of the universe.
    FEATURES OF THE
    MILKY WAY
    In1926, Edwin Humbble (1889- 1953)
    classified galaxies according to the
    Humbble sequence, other wise known
    as the Humbble tuning fork diagram.
     Humbble deviden galaxies into two general categories Eliptical
    and Espiral galaxies.
     Wiyth the discovery of other galaxies that are nither espiral nor
    elliptical in shape, galaxies are now caegories.
     A collection of stars that forms an ellipsoid is called an elliptical
    galaxies.
     Spiral galaxies they do not posseses a bright nucleus at their
    center or even spiral structure or flattened disk.
    Spiralgalaxies are the most common
    type of galaxies.
    About 77% of the observe galaxies in the
    universe, including our milky way, fall
    under this type
