Galaxies are so big and spread out at the ends that even though galaxies bump into each other, the planets and solar systems often don’t get close to colliding. But even if it happened tomorrow, you might not notice. It won’t happen for about five billion years. Our Milky Way galaxy will someday bump into Andromeda, our closest galactic neighbor. For each outline there may be a number of different ways to fill it with congruent shapes. So, for example if this is the outline given: The congruent shapes could be shown using the colours like this: Notice that each of the coloured shapes are congruent. Sometimes galaxies get too close and smash into each other. Your objective is to split the area inside the outline into a number of congruent shapes.

Watch out for Blockers which take up space and block connections. Connect three or more congruent shapes to knock them out and gain points. Connect three or more congruent shapes that are encased in ice, but watch out for Blockers Directions: Click the slot you want to drop the block in. The light that we see from each of these galaxies comes from the stars inside it. Beat the heat of summer with this 'COOL' game. They have irregular shapes and look like blobs. And there are also galaxies that aren’t spirals or ovals. Other galaxies are smooth and oval shaped. They have curved arms that make it look like a pinwheel. Two candy ice creams which represent equal shape and size. Two butterflies which have equal shape and size. This shape and size should remain equal, even when we flip, turn, or rotate the shapes. Some galaxies are spiral-shaped like ours. The term congruent means exactly equal shape and size. The universe is a very big place!

This image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground. Two shapes are described as congruent if they are identical. This is a picture taken by the NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope showing thousands of galaxies. Some scientists think there could be as many as one hundred billion galaxies in the universe. There are so many, we can’t even count them all yet! The Hubble Space Telescope looked at a small patch of space for 12 days and found 10,000 galaxies, of all sizes, shapes, and colors. There are many galaxies besides ours, though. The Milky Way galaxy fills the night sky in this photo. If it’s really dark, far away from lights from cities and houses, you can even see the dusty bands of the Milky Way stretch across the sky.

When you look up at stars in the night sky, you’re seeing other stars in the Milky Way. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, also has a supermassive black hole in the middle. But where is our solar system? It’s a small part of the Milky Way Galaxy.Ī galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems. We live on a planet called Earth that is part of our solar system. A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems, all held together by gravity.
