... 2005 April 27 . The Hercules Cluster of Galaxies . ... Explanation: These are galaxies of the Hercules Cluster , an archipelago of "island universes" a mere 650 million light-years distant. This cluster is loaded with gas and dust rich, star forming, spiral galaxies but has relatively few elliptical galaxies , which lack gas and dust and the associated newborn stars . ... Over time, the galaxy interactions are likely to affect the the content of the cluster itself. ... About APOD | ...

... We consider the astrophysical evolution of the Galaxy over large time scales, from early stages (an age of ~10 8 yrs) to the end of traditional stellar evolution (~10 11 yrs). ... In the model considered, the basic stages of Galactic evolution are as follows. ... Essentially all other basic parameters of the Galaxy vary little. ... The final "stellar epoch" in the life of the Galaxy is completed ~10 13 yrs after its formation, when the evolution of the least massive stars comes to an end. ...
