PROJECT: IDENTIFYING GALAXIES
Before 1920, most astronomers thought that all of the shining objects seen in the sky were stars of the Milky Way galaxy. In the early 1920s, Edwin Hubble made observations of Cepheid variable stars that indicated that some of these stars were too far away to be part of the Milky Way. Hubble provided the first convincing evidence that clusters of starsâentire galaxiesâexisted outside of the Milky Way.
As Hubble continued to study galaxies, he observed that galaxies have a variety of shapes that could be grouped into four categories, as you can see in the following image.
You can view amazing images of galaxies, courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope, at the following Web site:
The Galaxy Collection of the Hubble Space Telescope.
For this project, you will examine photographs of ten galaxies. For each galaxy, you will place it in a category and explain the basis for your categorization.
OBJECTIVES
Distinguish among the types of galaxies.
Types of Galaxies
For this project, you will classify galaxies into one of four categoriesâelliptical, irregular, spiral, or barred spiral. The categories can be described as follows:
Elliptical galaxyâA galaxy whose stars are symmetrically dispersed in a spherical or elongated shape.
Irregular galaxyâA galaxy formed by the collision of other galaxies.
Spiral galaxyâA galaxy with a central bulge, flattened disk, and curving arms.
Barred spiral galaxyâA spiral galaxy with a bar of bright gas across the center of the bulge.
Directions
Below are pictures of ten galaxies, each followed by a text box. Using the text box, you will categorize each galaxy and explain why you chose the category. If you are uncertain about how to categorize a galaxy, explain why it was difficult to pick among the categories. In explaining your choices, you should refer to the descriptions of the galaxies above.
this is supposed to come out as an essay pls hep me out a lil

Microtubular fibers that assist in the movement of chromosomes during nuclear division in conjunction with proteins, makes up the small and large organelle pieces that assemble prior to translation three-base nucleotide sequence that can complementarily pair with the functional transcript, allowing a particular material to be brought to a ribosome particular time in the cell cycle when the cellââŹâ˘s systems determine if the cellular conditions are appropriate to continue through the cycle time in the cellââŹâ˘s cycle when proteins are made and organelles are duplicated enzyme that allows proper nucleotide bonding during transcription specific dna sequence which will initiate gene transcription division of the cellââŹâ˘s cytoplasm specific bond that forms between two amino acids when a carboxyl group binds to a amino group three-base sequence that does not code for a particular amino acid a paired organelle which facilitates the formation of movement microtubules time in the cellââŹâ˘s cycle when the microtubular structures exert an equal pressure on the cellââŹâ˘s genetic material
