David M. Wilson for Computer Gaming World gave a positive review to the game and highlighted "Galaxy Editor", a program in which the players "design their own Galaxy and build their own fortress", as its strength. [1]
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a large disk-shaped barred-spiral galaxy [92] about 30 kiloparsecs in diameter and a kiloparsec thick. It contains about two hundred billion (2×10 11) [93] stars and has a total mass of about six hundred billion (6×10 11) times the mass of the Sun. [94]
Robot Galaxy was a mall-based retail and entertainment company that allowed children to build their own personalized robots. The Robot Galaxy brand included retail stores, an online virtual world, and a comic book series.

The resulting disk of stars would be seen as a band on the sky from our perspective inside the disk. Wright and Kant also conjectured that some of the nebulae visible in the night sky might be separate "galaxies" themselves, similar to our own. Kant referred to both the Milky Way and the "extragalactic nebulae" as "island universes", a term ...
The huge map has already helped changed our view of the galaxy in unexpected ways, according to its creators. In all, it catalogues more than 1.5 billion objects, a vast improvement on previous ...
In our own galaxy, for instance, the object called Sagittarius A* is a supermassive black hole. There are many lines of evidence for the existence of black holes in spiral galaxy centers, including the presence of active nuclei in some spiral galaxies, and dynamical measurements that find large compact central masses in galaxies such as Messier ...
The Andromeda Galaxy is known to harbor a dense and compact star cluster at its very center, similar to our own galaxy. A large telescope creates a visual impression of a star embedded in the more diffuse surrounding bulge. In 1991, the Hubble Space Telescope was used to image the Andromeda Galaxy's inner nucleus.
