How to Make Galaxy Goo

Find out how to make your own Galaxy Goo in Astronomy at Home.

Galaxies are huge collections of stars, dust and gas, gravitationally bound together in space. Stars shine different colours depending on their temperature. Hot, young stars are blue and older, cooler stars are red. Populations of stars give galaxies their spectacular colours.

So, make your very own galaxy and see the cosmic colours you can create!
