Black Holes

[AKA_Monet]

What makes me confused is the difference with a galaxy, quasars and solar system.

I have seen bunches of stars in a telescope together in one part of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Then I have seen stars of many colors. I have seen the gas rings and dot on Jupiter and I have seen the general Milky Way clouds at night at Mauna Loa.

What is amazing about all of this is they astrophysicists think big, and the microscopists think small...

There are also "white holes"... Don't ask me how to calculate their existence--but they do exist--at least mathematically.

Good question. I guess a galaxy would represent the whole thing, in regards to the planets and the solar system itself. I think quasars are apart of new galaxies that are really far away from us. I've read that we can see the light from them, but since it takes so many light years to reach us it's billions of years old by then, and a solar system is a system of planets and a sun(s). I say sun(s), because who knows, some solar systems could have two suns.

I've heard that white holes are the opposite of black holes. Don't they push matter out rather than taking it in? Maybe white holes are on the other side of black holes.
