that galaxies are moving farther away. This was in our lab (electromagnetic spectrum and the Doppler affect). In this lab Mr. Cousino drove by us in the car and the car horn got quieter as it drove away. This shows us red shift because he is moving away from us and the wavelengths are being compressed together in front of his car and are longer behind his car. This is how all the matter and energy in our universe comes from the big bang. The sun is located within the Milky Way galaxy in the

The Andromeda Galaxy‚ once also known as The Great Nebula in Andromeda‚ is considered to be one of the largest members of what is called the Local Group. The Andromeda Galaxy‚ a spiral galaxy closet to our solar system‚ is now known to be the edge and rim of our Milky Way. Even though the Andromeda Galaxy is bigger than the Milky Way Galaxy‚ both of these galaxies have many similarities. Astronomers in today’s world base their scientific observations off of the Andromeda Galaxy to make assumptions

The Andromeda Galaxy Introduction/Abstract The Andromeda galaxy is the closest full size galaxy to the Milky Way because of this it is known as our nearest galactic neighbor. The Andromeda Galaxy is also the only galaxy visible to the naked eye in the Northern Hemisphere. At 2.9 million light-years from Earth‚ Andromeda is also the farthest object that can be seen from Earth. Andromeda is not only known as our closest neighbor but scientists also refer to Andromeda and the Milky Way as sister

Properties of Clusters of Galaxies Monday (4/15/2013) Procedure For this experiment‚ a photograph of the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies will be needed to observe. The photograph will be sectioned into specific areas with coordinates like a map. Locate the area and identify the galaxies. Classify the galaxies as elliptical‚ spiral‚ or irregular. An elliptical galaxy will appear solid with not real defined “arms” or spirals coming from the center. An elliptical galaxy can be further classified E0

Out of the major galaxies‚ the Andromeda Galaxy is located nearest to our Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy is two million light years away from us‚ but it can be seen with the naked eye because it is very bright. In this galaxy there are over a hundred billion stars. It is known to be the brightest galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy and is part of the Local Group. It has a large star cluster in its heart and a very large hidden black hole deep in the core. The middle is very bright
