Solution

Sure, let's go through each question step by step.

  1. *Galaxies and stars in space are found in _______ and the emptiness of space is found in _____.

    • filaments, voids
  2. *We are in the _____ galaxy, ________ cluster, and the _____ supercluster.

    • Milky Way, Local Group, Virgo
  3. *If each galaxy contains 1 hundred billion stars, and there are 1 hundred billion galaxies, and 89% of all stars are low mass like the Sun, and 1 in 5 low mass stars like the Sun have planets like Earth in the habitable zone, what is the number of planets that exist in the Universe that are in the habitable zones of their low mass stars? (hint: use your favorite, dimensional analysis! try this on paper!) Start with 1 Universe, then convert to galaxies and so on.

    • Number of stars in the Universe = 1 hundred billion galaxies * 1 hundred billion stars/galaxy = 10^22 stars
    • Number of low mass stars = 89/100 * 10^22 = 8.9 * 10^21 low mass stars
    • Number of planets in habitable zones = 1/5 * 8.9 * 10^21 = 1.78 * 10^21 planets
    • Answer: 1.78 x 10^21 planets
  4. *What is at the center of most galaxies?

    • A supermassive black hole
  5. *Select the following true information about the Milky Way

    • Sagittarius A is at its center
    • It takes the Sun 225,000,000 years to make its orbit around the galaxy
    • It is a barred spiral galaxy
  6. *True or false, the Milky way is almost a perfect 3D sphere

    • False
  7. *Match the following parts of the Milky Way

    • Bulge: Really old stars, gas, dust
    • Disc: Mostly young stars, concentrated in the spiral arms
    • Halo: Individual stars, globular clusters, dark matter, largest structure in the galaxy
    • Blue Regions: New star formation from gas and dust
  8. *True or false, the Hubble Classification of galaxies shows the evolution of galaxies

    • False
  9. *The difference between spiral and barred spiral galaxies is that...

    • Barred spiral has a bar in the middle
  10. *E7 are ____ than E0 galaxies.

    • more oblonged
  11. *Stars in elliptical galaxies move with...

    • chaotic motion
  12. *Lenticular galaxies are hybrids between ______ and _____

    • Spiral, Elliptical
  13. *The difference between irregular and peculiar galaxies is that

    • Peculiar have an active galactic nucleus
