Galaxy site directory

Every topic on galaxies.im will get its own site. Black holes and the Milky Way come first. Here’s the plan for the first ten.

Open now

This hub, galaxies.im. The galaxy sites below will be listed as open, with a link, on the day each one goes live.

Coming soon

• Black holesFirst waveblack-holes.galaxies.im

  Planned: what a black hole is, the event horizon, and Sagittarius A* at the heart of the Milky Way.

  Coming soon
• The Milky WayFirst wavemilky-way.galaxies.im

  Planned: our home galaxy, its spiral arms, where the Sun sits, and how to see the Milky Way for yourself.

  Coming soon
• The Big Bangbig-bang.galaxies.im

  Planned: how the universe began, its first seconds and minutes, and the evidence astronomers use.

  Coming soon
• Andromedaandromeda.galaxies.im

  Planned: our nearest major galactic neighbour, how to spot it, and how Edwin Hubble showed it is a galaxy of its own.

  Coming soon
• Dark matterdark-matter.galaxies.im

  Planned: the invisible matter that holds galaxies together, and the work of Fritz Zwicky and Vera Rubin.

  Coming soon
• Space telescopestelescopes.galaxies.im

  Planned: Hubble, Webb and the space telescopes that photograph distant galaxies.

  Coming soon
• Quasarsquasars.galaxies.im

  Planned: the brightest objects in the universe, powered by giant black holes, and 3C 273.

  Coming soon
• Supernovaesupernovae.galaxies.im

  Planned: exploding stars, how often they happen, and the remnants they leave behind.

  Coming soon
• Nebulaenebulae.galaxies.im

  Planned: clouds of gas and dust, stellar nurseries and planetary nebulae.

  Coming soon
• Magellanic Cloudsmagellanic-clouds.galaxies.im

  Planned: the Milky Way’s two satellite galaxies in the southern sky, and how they got their name.

  Coming soon

How we chose the ten

We ranked well-known topics beyond the solar system by how many people read about them online over a year, then left out the planets and moons, which have their own hub. Black holes came out top, so they come first, with the Milky Way alongside.

Independent, not official

Our facts come from NASA and Encyclopaedia Britannica. galaxies.im is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, either of them.

How the network works

The list of sites lives in network.json. This page and sitemap-index.xml are built from it, and only open sites go into the sitemap index. Each galaxy site will have a link back here at the top of every page.
