System of millions of billions of stars
Large group of stars, gas, dust that constitute
universe
Most of Galaxy have blackhole at the center

9. Globular Clusters
Colletion of millions of ancient star
More densed and spherical shape
Lack of O and B type of star
150 known in Milkyway galaxy
11. Cepheid Variables
• very large, luminous, yellow stars
• called Cepheids after the first star of this type
to be discovered - Delta Cephei
• Special variable stars :
(a) regular
(b) a uniform function of their brightness
13. Milky way Galaxy
• Named after the niboulosity of night sky
• William Hershel (1985)
• 100,000 light years and 1000 light years thick.
• Rotation - 250 km/h
15. The structure of the Milky Way
• Bulge
• Disk
• Halo
• Nucleus
• Dark Matter

18. ELLIPTICAL GALAXY
Smooth and elliptical in appearance
Characteristics:
(a). They must have random star motion
rather than rotational motion.
(b) They have very little gas and dust left
between the stars.
ELLIPTICAL GALAXY
19. ELLIPTICAL GALAXY
They have no star formation occuring and no
hot, bright massive star in there.
No spiralstructure.
ELLIPTICAL GALAXY
21. SPIRAL GALAXY
• Flattened disc with spiral disc
The spiral arms can go all the way to bulge or
be attached to the ends of a long bar of gas
and dust.
22. Characteristics:
(a) They have more orderly, rotational motion
than random motion.
(b)They have some or lot of gas and dust
between the stars
(c) They can have new star formation
particularly in spiral arm
(d)Spiral structure
SPIRAL GALAXY
24. IRREGULAR GALAXY
No definite shape
It has a lot of gas and dust so star formation is
possible
Small and faint
Example: the small magellanic clouds

distant from Earth.
• located within the Local
Group of galaxies.
