2. Do the Force & Energy Review Flash quiz 3. Read & Answer the questions that follow in your online journal: Galaxies You look into the night sky. You see far more stars than you could ever hope to count? Is this all the stars in the universe? Hardly! The stars you see are only a small portion of the total stars in the universe. In fact, the stars you can see are only the ones in our neighborhood (of the universe). Our Sun is an average star. It is also the only star in our solar system. Earth and the rest of the planets in the solar system orbit the Sun. Asteroids and comets also orbit around the Sun. The solar system is our home just like you live in a house. Where you live, you may have many houses in your town or city. Think of the house like a solar system. Now think of the city you live in as if it were a galaxy containing many solar systems. The relationship of houses to cities and then stars to galaxies is similar. Galaxies, like cities, come in various sizes. Galaxies may have a few million to more than a trillion stars. There are countless galaxies in the universe. If stars were houses, these would be really large cities. But you get the idea. Now let’s ask a question, can you see from one end of your city to the other? Probably not, unless you live in a very tiny town. The same is true for the galaxy we live in. With the unaided eye, every star you can see is part of our own galaxy. We call the galaxy we live in the Milky Way Galaxy. There are many more stars that we can not see, outside of our galaxy. All the other galaxies in the universe are extremely far away. The closest galaxy to our own, the Andromeda Galaxy, is 2.5 million light-years away. So again, when you look into the night sky know that the universe is bigger than you can ever imagine. We live in a tiny corner of it within the Milky Way Galaxy. Our Sun is just one of millions of stars in our galaxy. We orbit the Sun on a very special planet called Earth 1. Describe what you see in the night sky and why. 2.
