Galaxy Types (and other quiz related matters)

Here is the transparency from last week's class!

Here is Edwin Hubble's Fork Diagram.

What else to know for the quiz...

  • What type of galaxy are we in?
  • How are the phases of the moon created?
  • What is an "umbra" and a "penumbra?"
  • Why don't we see more eclipses?
  • Why are there tides?
  • What is a magnetosphere? (We will talk about this tomorrow!)
