... Edge On Galaxy NGC 5866 . ... Credit: W. Keel ( U. Alabama ) Explanation: Why is this galaxy so thin? Many disk galaxies are actually just as thin as NGC 5866, pictured above , but are not seen edge-on from our vantage point. One galaxy that is situated edge-on is our own Milky Way Galaxy . ... Although similar in mass to our Milky Way Galaxy, light takes about 60,000 light years to cross NGC 5866 , about 30 percent less than light takes to cross our own Galaxy. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
