It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar." -Drew Carey When you think of a galaxy, you probably think of a bright, dense core with huge, swirling outstretched spiral arms. Something, perhaps, like the Silverado Galaxy, below. And while there are many galaxies like this, it isn't most of them! Oh, sure, most…
