So where are we you ask yourself? Well, one can say that their on planet Earth, but where is Earth you ask? In a galaxy, our particular galaxy, is the Milky Way. Before we get started on the Milk, i wanted to touch base on how this class is going. Well, science, math, and memorization is the key to success within this course. So if you're not into that, try Science 1001. So far i am pushing through, no such thing as failure in my books. Take it and go with it, is my motto. Do you learn anything in this class? TONS!, you're always learning, what you thought you knew, can be challenged and apparently science has an answer, sorry philosophy! Well, lets get back to the milky way on the this Saturday afternoon. Earth, humans, the sun, the moon, the stars we see, our all in the Milky Way Galaxy. How many planets are there in this milk path? Hundreds of Billions! That's probably a good indication, that we are not alone! Aliens could be out there, or maybe where the aliens :P.
Haha, funny eh. They can have the planet once where done. In the meantime, the games on.
Back to the seriousness grrr.
The milky Way Galaxy you say?
There it is! Approximately 100,000 light years in Diameter! WOW, Can you run that fast? I know i can! Thickness ohhh, only about 1,000 light years!! Need's to get on that new A&E show , Heavy. Could lose a few light years :P. The milky way is about 13-15 billion years old.
Puts this galaxy into context, our galaxy is part of the local grouping of galaxies, which contains 50 other close net galaxies including the Andromeda galaxy. The local group of galaxies is part of the Virgo Super cluster of galaxies.
Pretty Cool Eh. Check out this cool Pic :P.
