Space science: Galaxies and the universe

Explores the galaxies beyond our own through three-dimensional models and recent telescopic photographs. Shows examples of irregular, spiral, and elliptical galaxies; explains how the discovery of Cepheid variables enabled astronomers to measure galactic distances; investigates quasers and two types of star populations; and illustrates the three major theories accounting for expansion of the universe., Explains the various classes and brightness of galaxies and the methods used to photograph them. Shows models of irregular, spiral, and elliptical galaxies and examines the different types of stars in each. Discusses clusters, quasars, and the steady-state, big-bang, and pulsating theories of the expanding universe
