Luminous Galaxy
The term "Luminous Galaxy" refers to a type of galaxy that emits a significant amount of light, primarily due to the presence of bright stars and active star formation. These galaxies are often rich in gas and dust, which fuels the birth of new stars. Luminous galaxies can be found in various shapes, including spiral and irregular forms, and they are typically more visible in the universe due to their brightness.
One well-known example of a luminous galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy, which is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. Luminous galaxies play a crucial role in the study of cosmic evolution, as their light can provide insights into the conditions of the early universe and the processes that lead to star formation.
