A Galaxy is the name astronomers have given
to a group of stars that are held together
by the same gravitational force. Our
SOLAR_SYSTEM is part of a galaxy we call
the MILKY_WAY, our sun is just one of
many thousand that are part of it.
Galaxies come in many different types from
a spiral (Milky-Way) to iregular.
