      It was an interesting product of the times that, although Leavitt did the research and analyzed the data, Pickering is the listed author of the paper. Leavitt had been working with photographs of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (which is actually an irregular galaxy itself located in the same Local Group as our own Milky Way galaxy).

      Calculate the Mass of the Milky Way Galaxy. Use Newton’s form of Kepler’s third law. Mass of Galaxy = (Distance from Sun to Center of the Milky Way)^3 divided by the (Time for the Sun to orbit the center of the Milky Way)^2 . Distance from the Sun to the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Distance must be in Astronomical Units (AU) 1 AU ...

      The Milky Way contains about 200 billion stars. Many people mistakenly believe that our Sun is at the center of this galaxy, but in fact it is about 30,000 light-years away form the center of the Milky Way. Fantastic Fact: Our Sun takes about 220 million years to complete a trip around the center of the Milky Way. Since the “birth” of the ...

      The Milky Way is simply the common name for the galaxy that encompasses our solar system. It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the Local Group, a smaller group of 3 large and over 30 small galaxies, and is the second largest (after the Andromeda Galaxy M31) but perhaps the most massive member of this group of galaxies.

      B) a very large luminosity compared to the total luminosity of the Milky Way. C) strong radio emission from "lobes" of material well outside the visible boundaries of the galaxy. D) a rate of star formation that may be 100 or more times greater than that in the Milky Way. Answer: D. 9) The unusually bright centers found in some galaxies are called
