The Spiral Galaxy



This is an example of a spiral Galaxy in the shape of a dish. About 200 billion stars reside in such a Galaxy. The stars revolving in orderly circular orbits around the centre of this Galaxy. Huge amounts of gas and dust cloud inside the spiral arms of these Galaxies are giving rise to many new stars. This is why the spiral Galaxies look brightest in the Space. These Galaxies resemble in their appearance the Hurricanes on Earth.....
