novel’s popularity as indicative of its ‘unliterariness’, prompting fervent backlash. Likewise, ‘high’ literature is commonly viewed as inaccessible to the general populous. Nevertheless, Douglas Adams’ acclaimed 1979 novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is an anomalous example wherein critical consensus reflects mainstream judgments. Although academic and popular critics assess the novel via distinct, separate criteria, both agree upon its fundamental literary value. Accordingly, this…

Science fiction is a genre that has persisted for perhaps longer than what one might think. When classifying the genre, there are elements of technology and they are typically set in the future. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy implements such elements, but takes the issues of life, the universe, and everything and puts a funnier spin to them. This allows the author to take serious issues in society and point out the ridiculousness of situations. Absurdity is perhaps the main theme of the…

A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence. Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disc containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge.(Sloan) Spiral galaxies resemble spiraling pinwheels, nearly 77% of space consists of spiral galaxies. Though the stars and other visible material contained in such a galaxy lie mostly on a…

to fear on Earths end. Normal sized galaxies; such as the Milky Way galaxy, can contain an estimated 400 billion stars. In someone’s mind who knows nothing about Astronomy, they think that the larger the amount of stars, the more crowded the galaxy is. The truth is, that stars and planets are so far apart, the chances of them colliding with each other are small. That…

that cannot be directly seen because it does not interact with light. This mysterious matter makes up the majority of mass in a galaxy. Although we cannot see dark matter we know that it is out there because we can see it effecting the motion of the stars in a galaxy and gravitational lensing. The first piece of evidence for dark matter is in the way we have observed galaxies moving. You would likely expect their behavior to replicate that of the Sun and the planets, with the velocity of…

previously unknown) type of force that fills the universe as a liquid would called quintessence. A third explanation for dark matter is that Einstein’s theory of gravity is incorrect. This would affect our theories about universe expansion and how galaxies and clusters behave. Because all of our theories about celestial bodies in motion are heavily reliant upon the theory of gravity, those theories would have to find a different force or forces to replace gravity in our established…
