For instance, one theory holds that when the quark - gluon soup turned into more ordinary matter, it did so in lumps that eventually gave rise to galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

Ordinary matter, which makes up the atoms of familiar objects as well as stars and the visible portions of galaxies, accounts for just 4 percent of the cosmos.

If antimatter galaxies existed, they would interact with ordinary particles floating through intergalactic space to produce halos of gamma - ray energy around galaxies.

In fact, a whopping 96 per cent of it is made of something whose very nature we are at a loss to describe — something utterly unlike the ordinary matter that makes up stars and galaxies, planets and moons, birds and bees.

Dark atoms and molecules could perhaps clump together into galactic disks that overlap with the ordinary matter disks and spiral arms of galaxies such as Andromeda.

The conclusion is based on observations of a collision between two clusters of galaxies that separated dark matter from ordinary matter.

The pull of gravity from ordinary matter seems to be insufficient to hold spinning galaxies together, including our own.

The fluctuations also created variations in temperature of the CMB across the sky, from which cosmologists have determined the content of the universe in terms of ordinary matter, mysterious dark matter whose gravity binds the galaxies, and weird space - stretching dark energy.

«We are now fully confident that one of the most popular supernova remnants detected in our galaxy was produced by an ordinary type Ia supernova that was first detected more than 400 years ago,» write Andrea Pastorello of Queen's University Belfast and Ferdinando Patat of the European Southern Observatory in Germany in a commentary on the study.

The team used this to calculate the mass of the hot DOGs» central black holes, which are heavier relative to the surrounding stars than black holes in an ordinary galaxy (Astrophysical Journal, doi.org/h8g).

Its putative existence is primarily inferred from the anomalous rotations of satellite galaxies such as the Magellanic Clouds, which orbit the Milky Way too quickly to be explained by ordinary gravity alone.

However, stars and galaxies account for only about 10 % of the inferred ordinary matter, and all told researchers can not account for up to half of atoms they think should exist.

The most recent addition to the tour, discovered just last year, involves what appears to be a giant plume of antimatter — a fountain of particles identical to ordinary matter except that they have the opposite electric charge — shooting up from the core and straight out of the disk of the galaxy as far as 5,000 light - years, where the antimatter jet meets clouds of ordinary matter, and both are annihilated in a burst of energy.

«Seyfert» galaxies, which are all around us, are sort of miniquasars, producing a torrent of radiation from their core that, though it's far less than a quasar's, is spectacular by ordinary galactic standards.

All ordinary matter — atoms, molecules, people, stars, galaxies — are composed of just two types of quarks, and electrons.

This is very surprising and it tells us that ordinary galaxies were enriched with heavier elements far faster than expected,» explains Darach Watson, an astrophysicist with the Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen.

What we're mostly aiming toward is to get a picture of how ordinary galaxies come about.

They are hundreds to thousands of times more luminous than ordinary galaxies.

As stated in Scientific American, ``... the formation of «ordinary» spiral and elliptical galaxies is apparently still out of reach of most redshift surveys.»

This allowed them to identify it as an ordinary galaxy near the edge of the visible Universe.»

Even more surprising than the black hole's record mass, was the relatively ordinary mass of the galaxy that contained it.

It allows too little time for the force of gravity by itself to gather ordinary matter — neutrons, protons and electrons — into the patterns of galaxies seen today.

The discrepancy is even worse at the cores of the universe's tiny dwarf galaxies, which have few ordinary stars but lots of dark matter.

Painstaking measurements of the cosmic microwave background — the omnipresent radiation that is the afterglow of the Big Bang — tells us that a sixth of all matter in our galaxy is ordinary, while the rest is dark matter.

Not only will Webb's observations of the stars and other components of our galaxy help astronomers clarify our understanding of its inner workings, it will help to define what's normal for our cosmic neighborhood — so that when we detect something out of the ordinary, we'll know it.

These filaments, spanning across millions of light - years — much larger than the largest galaxies — constitute the cosmic web, and account for most of the ordinary matter (as opposed to dark matter) in the universe.

When a sufficient amount of dark matter has gathered, it attracts ordinary matter (mostly hydrogen and helium gas) to form stars that may eventually form a luminous galaxy at the core.

The presence of a black hole in an ordinary galaxy like M32 may mean that inactive black holes are common to the centers of galaxies.
