Vocab:
Spiral Galaxy: Thin dense highly organized disks of gas, and stars that rotate fast

Elliptical Galaxy: abundant, swirling armless galaxies

Bulge: A spheroidal distribution of stars that is centered on the nucleus of the Milky
Way Galaxy and extends to a distance of about 3 kilo parsecs from the center.

Key Points:

Galaxys used to be more irregular in shape

2 billion years after the big bang Galaxies were irregular and bob-shaped

Gravitational attraction

A galaxy is a group of stars, dust, and gases held together

Spiral galaxies have three main parts, a bulge, disk and halo

The bulge is located in the center of the galaxy, older stars are located here

The disk is made of dust, gas and young stars, the disk has spiral arms

The halo is loose and is located near the disk

Elliptical galaxies are galaxies that appear elliptical in shape. They are categorized
by a single number derived from the equation

Compared to the spiral galaxy the elliptical is a bulge with no disk

There is little to no star formation inside these galaxies, they can range from
spherical, or football shape

Elliptical galaxies are not supported by rotation

Elliptical galaxies may have formed from the gravitational collapse of an interstellar
gas cloud.

Two billion years after the big bang galaxies began as irregular and bob-shaped
clusters of stars. A galaxy is a group of stars, dust, and gases held together by
gravitational attraction. Todays spiral galaxies have three main parts, a bulge, disk
and halo. The bulge is located in the center of the spiral galaxy, older stars are
located in this section. The disk of the spiral galaxy is made of dust, gas and young
stars, the disk has spiral arms, and the halo is loose and is located near the disk.

Elliptical galaxies are galaxies that appear elliptical in shape, unlike spiral galaxies.
They are categorised by a single number derived from the equation. Compared to
the spiral galaxy the elliptical is a bulge with no disk, there is little to no star
formation inside these galaxies, they can range from spherical, or football shape.
Elliptical galaxies are not supported by rotation, and elliptical galaxies may have
formed from the gravitational collapse of an interstellar gas cloud. In conclusion
stars evolve by getting bigger.
