  2. Edwin Hubble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble

    Edwin Hubble was born to Virginia Lee Hubble (née James) (1864–1934) [14] and John Powell Hubble, an insurance executive, in Marshfield, Missouri, and moved to Wheaton, Illinois, in 1900. [15] In his younger days, he was noted more for his athletic prowess than his intellectual abilities, although he did earn good grades in every subject ...

    Andrea M. Ghez. Andrea Mia Ghez (born June 16, 1965) is an American astrophysicist, Nobel laureate, and professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Lauren B. Leichtman & Arthur E. Levine chair in Astrophysics, at the University of California, Los Angeles. [1] Her research focuses on the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

  4. Interacting galaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interacting_galaxy

    Interacting galaxies ( colliding galaxies) are galaxies whose gravitational fields result in a disturbance of one another. An example of a minor interaction is a satellite galaxy disturbing the primary galaxy's spiral arms. An example of a major interaction is a galactic collision, which may lead to a galaxy merger .

  5. Galactic astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_astronomy

    Galactic astronomy is the study of the Milky Way galaxy and all its contents. This is in contrast to extragalactic astronomy, which is the study of everything outside our galaxy, including all other galaxies. Galactic astronomy should not be confused with galaxy formation and evolution, which is the general study of galaxies, their formation ...

  6. Sloan Digital Sky Survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloan_Digital_Sky_Survey

    The Sloan Digital Sky Survey or SDSS is a major multi-spectral imaging and spectroscopic redshift survey using a dedicated 2.5-m wide-angle optical telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, United States. The project began in 2000 and was named after the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which contributed significant funding.

  7. Galaxy formation and evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_formation_and_evolution

    Galaxy formation is hypothesized to occur from structure formation theories, as a result of tiny quantum fluctuations in the aftermath of the Big Bang. The simplest model in general agreement with observed phenomena is the Lambda-CDM model —that is, that clustering and merging allows galaxies to accumulate mass, determining both their shape ...

  8. Galaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy

    Galaxy. NGC 4414, a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, is about 55,000 light-years in diameter and approximately 60 million light-years from Earth. A galaxy is a system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter bound together by gravity.

  9. Observational astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_astronomy

    An assembly in Estonia to observe meteors. Observational astronomy is a division of astronomy that is concerned with recording data about the observable universe, in contrast with theoretical astronomy, which is mainly concerned with calculating the measurable implications of physical models. It is the practice and study of observing celestial ...
