This is a spiral galaxy, shaped
like a flat pinwheel

Galaxies are like thugs. Thugs run the show; they come into wherever they go, and say "I run this." But seriously, galaxies are a collection of stars, gas, dust, planets, rocks, life, pretty much everything we can touch and see. Galaxies come in three different shapes: irregular, elliptical, and spiral. Galaxies are gigantic, kinda like my bank account; they are measured in light years. Yes, I'm a baller/shot-caller. Most galaxies have billions of stars, while some of the largest galaxies have trillions of stars, kinda like my bank account; I'm a trillionaire.

Galaxies are interesting because they are home to stars, and that's interesting because if there were no galaxies there would be no carne asada burritos with salsa ala Mexicana. There are also three different types, and that's interesting because it's like having seven different girlfriends--you have a different experience each day. Galaxies are interesting because they come in different shapes and sizes, kinda like people because each person is unique in their own way (some are cute and some are really ugly). Galaxies are large. One of the largest galaxies is said to measure six million light years wide.

The Earth and our solar system are part of the Milky Way galaxy. Our solar system is located in one of the outer "arms." The Milky Way galaxy is estimated to be 100,000 light years wide.
