A new galaxy is formed where, instead of the discs that the original galaxies have, where all the stars are going around more or less on a plane. Instead the stars are going every which way just like the elliptical galaxies that we see. And so we are

But dark matter does more than simply holds galaxy like ours together. Astronomers think it binds the Milky Way into an extraordinary structure along with billions of other galaxies. To explore it, we'll take a journey to the very edge of the univers

Imagine the disc of our galaxy, if you just took a disc of stars and put it there, gravity would tend to make this disc collapse/ into itself and it would immediately just fall together. That is not what we see with the galaxy. Whats actually going o

Its a stunning location, but its also mysterious. These stars are not just close together. They are on the move at enormous speeds. Going to the heart of a galaxy might not be the similar to going to an amusement park. The rides are some similar to h

The glowing region is the accretion disc, star debris falling inward, would turn round in the maelstrom heated by frictions to such high temperatures that it glows white hot. So at the center of our galaxy, we do have a black hole. We now know that t

We are taking a ride through the Milky Way. First, we are traveling to a place where stars are born. Even at the speed of light, 196,000 miles a second, the journey lasts for 1,500 years. We've arrived at the vast glowing cloud of gas and dust, the g

Look closer and there is something strange about this gas and dust. There're patches where it appears to glow. These bright glowing clouds are called nebulae. And along with the Orion Nebula, our Milky Way has some spectacular examples, the Eagle Neb

In about four or five billion years, it will grow into a much bigger star, a star called a red giant. And that outer atmosphere of gases will be held so loosely by the sun at that time that the gases will be blown away gently in what I call a cosmic
