How do we classify galaxies? - We classify galaxies based on if they are spiral, elipitical or irregular. The size is determined be the halo. What kind of stars do elliptical galaxies contain? - Ellipitcal galaxies have only older stars. There is no gas or dust to create new stars. What kind of stars do spiral galaxies contain? - Spiral Galaxies contain old and new stars and much gas and dust. How is the light from active galaxies different from light from normal galaxies? - Active ga...

The first stars to form in our galaxy - had highly elliptical orbits The most likely theories to explain the spiral structure of spiral galaxies are - selfsustaining star formation and the density wave theory. A Type II Cepheid has been located in a distant globular cluster with a period of 10 days. What is the star's absolute magnitude? - −1 Besides the obvious difference in shape, elliptical galaxies differ from spirals by - containing little gas and dust, and few, if any, newly form...
