__ The Milky Way __ ​ 

The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy that has several distinct components. The Milky Way emcopasses our solar system. The Milky Way is believed to be 13 billion years old. The Milky Way has a circumference of 250-300 thousand light years. The Milky Way is a sphere shaped galaxy.

The disk extends out to a radius of about 25kpc. It is dominated by stars. The density of the stars falls off with radius almost exponentially. The disk contains most of the light. The interstellar gas and the dust in the Galaxy, probalbly contain 10 to 25% of the total mass.

The buldge is the sphereodical component is located within the innner 2 to 3kpc. It may be dominated by a bar. Although the bar is still somewhat uncertain the buldge of The Milky Way probaly contains less than 10% of the mass. The light of the Galaxy.

The halo is sphereodical component that extends for beyond the disk. The buldge probably is greater than 100kpc. The globular clusters are found in the halo. Outline its distrubution. Within the halo, the density falls of rough as R-2. It is believed that the halo contains most of the mass of the Galxy in the form of dark matter.



The Milky Way is a Galaxy is made up of about 146 Globular clusters that formed during early formation. The Milky Way Galaxy is a disk of stars and gas and a halo of globular clusters. It is so far as we know the only Galaxy to have a planet that holds life. It spins in a counter clockwise motion. It has nine planets which are known as Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. Most of the planets have moons besides Pluto. It is named the Milky Way because it looks like the Milky Way bare. It has a dark outside and a light inside to it. We are the only Galaxy to have life in space as fare as we know. It is cylinder shape Galaxy and has 6 arms off the side of it. The Milky Way has a mess of Globular clusters in it. This is the Milky Way for you all. We hope you like this and we hope it gives you all more information about the Milky Way. This is a Galaxy we live in and you all should know a lot about it. So we hope you like it a lot.
