interstellar gas and dust, and dark matter. The word galaxy is derived from
the Greek galaxias literally "milky", a reference to the Milky Way. Examples of
galaxies range from dwarfs with just a few thousand stars to giants with one
hundred trillion stars, each orbiting their galaxy's own center of mass.
Galaxies can be categorized according to their visual morphology, including
elliptical, spiral, and irregular. Many galaxies are believed to have black holes
at their active center. The Milky Way's central black hole, known as Sagittarius
A, has a mass four million times that of our Sun. As of May 2015, EGS-zs8 was
the most distant known galaxy. The galaxy was determined to be 13.1 billion
light-years away and to have 15% of the mass of the Milky Way. There are
approximately 170billion (1.7 1011) galaxies in the observable universe.
Most galaxies are 1,000 to 100,000 parsecs in diameter and usually separated
by distances on the order of millions of parsecs (or megaparsecs). The space
between galaxies is filled with a tenuous gas with an average density less
than one atom per cubic meter. The majority of galaxies are gravitationally
organized into associations known as galaxy groups, clusters, and
superclusters.

earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar
System, the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets, and
the only astronomical object known to accommodate life. The earliest
life on Earth arose at least 3.5 billion years ago. [Earth's biodiversity has
expanded continually except when interrupted by mass extinctions.
Although scholars estimate that over 99 percent of all species that ever
lived on the planet are extinct, Earth is currently home to 1014 million
species of life, including over 7.3 billion humans. According to evidence
from radiometric dating and other sources, Earth was formed around
four and a half billion years ago. Within its first billion years, life
appeared in its oceans and began to affect its atmosphere and surface,
promoting the proliferation of aerobic as well as anaerobic organisms
and causing the formation of the atmosphere's ozone layer. This layer
and the geomagnetic field blocked the most life-threatening parts of
the Sun's radiation, so life was able to flourish on land as well as in
water. Since then, the combination of Earth's distance from the Sun, its
physical properties and its geological history have allowed life to thrive
and evolve.
mars
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest
planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman
god of war, it is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because the
iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance.
Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface
features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and
the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. The
rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar
to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is
the site of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest
known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one
of the largest canyons in the Solar System. The smooth Borealis
basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and
may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two moons, Phobos and
Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped.
