 WHAT IS ANATOMY OF THE UNIVERSE ?

   THE UNIVERSE CONTAINS EVERYTHING that exists ,from the tiniest subatomic particles to galactic super clusters (the largest structures known). Nobody knows how big the universe is ,but astronomers estimate that it contains at least 125 billion galaxies, each comprising an average of 100 billion stars. The most widely accepted theory about the origin of the universe is the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe came into being in a huge explosion the Big Bang that took place between 10 and 20 billion years ago. The Universe initially consisted of a very hot ,dense fireball of expanding, cooling gas. After about one million years the gas began to condense into localized clumps called protogalaxies. During the next five billion years, the protogalaxies continued condensing, forming galaxies in which stars were being born. Today billions of years later, the universe as a whole is still expanding, although there are localized areas in which objects are held together by gravity for example, many galaxies are found in clusters. The Big Bang theory is supported by the discovery of faint, cool background radiation coming evenly from all directions. 
This radiation is believed to be the remnant of the radiation produced by the Big Bang. Small "ripples" in the temperature of the cosmic background radiation are thought to be evidence of slight fluctuations in the density of the early Universe, which resulted in the formation of galaxies. Astronomers do not yet know if the universe "closed",which means it will eventually stop expanding and begin to contract, or if it is "open", which means it will continue expanding forever.

 WHAT IS A GALAXIES ? A galaxies is a collection of stars as well as dust and gas clouds. Although all these are several light years away, they are bound together by the force of gravitational attraction. A galaxy is a kind of a ‘star system’. Our home galaxy ,the milky way, has a diameter  of about 120,000 light years. It contains several hundred billion stars, and there are billions of such galaxies . They often occur in groups, called galaxy clusters. The cluster to which the milky way belongs is called the ‘Local group’. WHAT DO GALAXIES LOOK LIKE ? In most of the galaxies , the stars are not uniformly distributed, but instead are arranged in certain patterns. The most frequent ones are spiral galaxies . The center of such galaxies is thick with several old, red shining stars. A flat disc stretches all around this center in which the individual arms of the spiral are present. It has a thickness of just about 100 light years, which is very thin as c...
