Variety of Galaxies


Using by powerful telescopes, in most galaxies only detected mixed light of all the stars, but show the closest individual stars. Galaxies come in a variety of ways. In 1930 Hubble classified galaxies into elliptical, spirals and irregulars, the first two being the most frequent.
Elliptical galaxies
Some galaxies have a globular shape, with a bright nucleus. They called ellipticals, contain a large population of old stars, usually little gas and dust,and some newly formed stars. Elliptical galaxies have a variety of sizes,

What type of Galaxies in the Universe?


There are hundreds of billions Galaxies are huge collections of stars, gas and dust in the universe .Each galaxy may consist of hundreds of billions of stars and other heavenly bodies. In the center of galaxies is where stars are more concentrated. Each body of a galaxy is moving because of the attraction of others. In general there is also a broader movement that makes everything turn around the center together

At the edge of the visible universe


At the edge of the visible universe almost the farthest galaxies are more than 13,000 million light years away. Their light has taken that long to reach us. This means that as we were more than 13,000 million years, only 500 million years after the Big Bang. Therefore, more distant galaxies are also the oldest in the Universe. The most distant galaxy discovered to date is the Abell 1835 IR1916. It is located behind the cluster Abell 1835, in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered in the year 2007 by European scientists. This is 13,200 million light years away and each time more.
