Do you mean SPIRAL galaxies?\n\nCompare the Milky Way (our "spiral" galaxy) with others in the universe. There's a classification for spirals, so it shouldn't be that hard to write a paper on it (without be a physicist)

I think it sounds very interesting.  Have you thought about how you will test this question and then how you will present your findings?  Good luck to you!

Astronomy:The life of Stars. You can get some awesome pictures for that and there is plenty to write about, like (i am not completely sure about this number)did u know that light takes almost 250,000 years to travel from the center of our sun to the surface.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star

There is a great song by Eric Idle used in the film Monty Python's Meaning of Life that talks about how many stars are in the galaxy and how far we are from galactic central point...it's catchy AND funny.\n\nIf it has to be instrumental then I would try the theme music from Carl Sagan's Cosmos...it was good and is recognizable to fans of science.

There is an awful lot of info. You are talking about a field to which tens of thousands of people have each dedicated a lifetime of study!  If you are studying for a test, you need to focus on the contents of that particular test.  \n\nA nice site I like that has cursory information on many thing astronomical and space related written for the lay person is the Astronomy Picture of the Day.\n\nhttp://apod.gsfc.nasa.gov\n\nThe archives go back to 1994, with few repeats.

You could make a model of the solar system.  Use different sized Styrofoam balls for the planets.
