How did the galaxies get to be such a variety of shapes?
Well, we don't know. But with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer spacecraft, or GALEX, we learned a lot about stars and galaxies.
GALEX was launched into orbit around Earth on April 28, 2003. It used advanced instruments to peer outward, deep into the universe. It collected data that is helping astronomers piece together the story of how stars and galaxies are formed and how they change over billions of years.
The GALEX mission ended on June 28th, 2013 after a very successful ten years of observing the varied galaxies and other mysterious objects that make up our universe.

What is a galaxy?
A galaxy is a grouping of stars. All but a few stars in the universe live in galaxies. Our Sun is just one of at least 200 billion stars in our own Milky Way Galaxy.

A galaxy is a grouping of stars. All but a few stars in the universe live in galaxies.

With our best telescopes, we can look deep into space and see billions of galaxies. Galaxies come in all different shapes. Some are spiral shaped like our own Milky Way. Some are like a circle or a flattened circle. Others seem to have no particular shape at all.

Download them all!

Space
There are many galaxies besides the Milky Way Galaxy we call home. There are so many, we can't even count them all yet! The Hubble Space Telescope looked at a small patch of space for 12 days and found 10,000 galaxies, of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some scientists think there could be as many as one hundred billion galaxies in the universe.
Find out more.

Sun
The sun sends lots of energy toward us all the time. There are a few different kinds of energy. There is infrared radiation, which is heat. There is visible light, which is what our eyes can see. There is also ultraviolet light. We can't see ultraviolet with our eyes, but it's there. And it can burn our skin.
Find out more.

Earth
Earth and the moon are very good friends, but they're not as close as they seem. They're actually really far apart. The moon is an average of 238,855 miles (384,400 km) away. How far away is that? That's 30 Earths. And the moon is moving very slowly away from us. It gets about 1 inch farther away each year. But don't worry. They'll still be friends for a very long time!
Find out more.

Solar System
We finally got to visit Pluto, Charon, and the Kuiper Belt! On January 19, 2006, NASA launched a robot spacecraft on the long journey. This mission is called New Horizons. The spacecraft arrived at Pluto in July 2015, and it will continue to study other objects in the Kuiper Belt from about 2018 to 2022.

GOES-U will also help scientists “see” lightning and predict where it will strike.
Want to learn more about the GOES satellites? Meet a GOES-R Series weather satellite here!
This month's prompt: Draw how you imagine lightning to look, either within the clouds or striking the ground, from above the sky or from your window. Use any materials you would like – crayons, markers, pencils, pens, aluminum foil, paint, yarn, or anything else you find. The sky's the limit!
Submit your artwork between 5/1/24 and 5/31/24. Selected art submissions will appear on the website in early June!

Watch this video to learn about what causes lightning!

Want to launch your learning and zap your knowledge of lightning? GOES to this article and check out the video and poster to learn more about lightning!

How to submit your art:
Once you've gotten your ideas on the page, have a grownup take a photo or scan of the drawing and email the following to NASAKidsArt@jpl.nasa.gov:

Picture of drawing
First name of artist
Age of artist
Completed release form (download here)*

That's it! Have fun creating and we can't wait to see your drawings!
