Galaxy

The video explains galaxies as massive systems of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity. It covers the three main types of galaxies: spiral, elliptical, and irregular, highlighting their unique characteristics. Spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, are rich in gas and young stars, while elliptical galaxies contain older stars and less gas. Irregular galaxies lack a defined shape but have active star formation. The video also discusses galaxy distribution in space, noting that galaxies often cluster together. Finally, it poses a thought-provoking question about the solar system's journey around the Milky Way's center.
