Galaxies

Are you a galactic superstar? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby will teach you how to become one, by learning about the wonders of galaxies - those massive clusters of stars, gas, and dust. In this educational, animated movie learn just how many zillions of objects a galaxy can contain (okay, a zillion isn’t a real number...) in addition to the black holes that are lurking inside each one. You’ll find out about our own spiral, the Milky Way galaxy and about other galaxies that have different shapes from elliptical to completely irregular galaxies. Discover why galaxies are speeding away from each other and how the Doppler shift effect can helps us tell if they’re moving towards or from us. Finally found out what happens to a galaxy at the end of its life and what makes up most of the mass of the universe. Funny! We’ve got a sudden craving for chocolate!
