Slide 1 - Fisheye Milky Way. Notice Thin on one side bulge towards the other i.e. towards Constellation Sagittarius Slide 2 - Powers of ten. Scale 100 Ly see map of star nearby Slide 3 - Powers of ten. Scale 1000 Ly evidence of spiral structure i.e. voids of stars and nebulae Slide 4 - Powers of ten. Scale 10 000 Ly what we assume our Galaxy to look like along with satellite galaxies Slide 5 - Observational evidence via mapping hydrogen as proof of spiral structure. Slide 6 - Picture of Milky Way. It is made up of more than stars such as dust (seen in the dust lanes) and nebulae (seen in red) Hubble Deep Field Slide 7 - Several planetary nebulae. Not the spherical shape and the bright object in the center which is a dieing star. Will talk about that in the Hertzsprung Russell lab. Slide 8 - Globular clusters. Interesting because they are some of the oldest known objects ~ 10 to 15 billion years old. Distribution are centered around the center of the Milky Way i.e. the bulgy part of the galaxy shown in the first slide. Slide 9 - Pictures of other galaxies...where do they reside on the map??
