Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a galaxy and the universe?
A galaxy is one island of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, like our Milky Way. The universe is everything there is, and it holds billions of galaxies.
Why is nebula included in a space puzzle?
A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust where new stars are born. The famous pillars photographed by a space telescope are part of one, and every nebula sits far outside our solar system.
