When you look into the hazy band of light across the sky, you are actually looking at our galaxy from the inside. While an awesome sight, you can only truly begin to see it if you get away from city lights on a moonless night. . Paul McMillan. Surveys For All, 1st February 2016 . Why do we care?. On the biggest scales, the ΛCDM model works. Why do we care?. On the scale of individual galaxies, agreement is less obvious.. Things are more complicated, we have to consider the baryons.

How fast would a galaxy 2,000 . megaparsecs. bye:. Angelina Battle. The legend of The Milky Way. This is what old people told me when I was a child. Long ago, when the world was new, there were not many stars in the sky. In those days people depended on corn for their food. They would grind it and keep it in bins behind their homes. Bread made from cornmeal, often kept them from starving during the long winter months. . Let’s look back at the rotational velocity equation:. v = (M. interior. G/r). 0.5. The rotational velocity is constant at big r values.. What must we conclude?. The mass interior to the orbit is still increasing. Even after the radius r has gone beyond the last of the stars. It must be increasing in order to hold v constant.. 4.f. Describe the hierarchical structure (stars, cluster, galaxies, galactic clusters) of the universe & examine the expanding universe to include its age & history & the modern techniques (e.g. radio, infrared, ultraviolet & x-ray astronomy) used to measure objects & distances in the universe. (DOK 2). Are Nebulae within or outside of our galaxy??. Nebula comes from a Greek word meaning Cloud. April 1920, National Academy of Sciences , Washington, DC. Harlow Shapley (had determined size of Milky Way Galaxy) pushed that nebulae were relatively close by objects..
