Question

if scientists wanted to find the youngest stars in a spiral galaxy, where would they most likely look?
○ in the area with the most dark matter
○ in the central nuclear bulge
○ within the spiral arms
○ in the spherical halo

Explanation:

Spiral galaxies have different components. The spiral arms are regions where star - formation is actively taking place. New stars (youngest stars) form from the gravitational collapse of gas and dust clouds. The spherical halo mainly consists of old stars and dark matter. The central nuclear bulge has older stars as well. The area with the most dark matter is not the site of active star formation (where young stars are made).

Answer:

within the spiral arms
