Continue doing this until you have all the beads you need for your pattern. This will be the ladder stich creating the foundation row for the brick stitch. Pick up one bead then pass the needle under the thread between the first two beads on the foundation row. Pull the thread and bring the bead up into place.
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a large disk-shaped barred-spiral galaxy about 30 kiloparsecs in diameter and a kiloparsec thick. It contains about two hundred billion (2Ã1011) stars and has a total mass of about six hundred billion (6Ã1011) times the mass of the Sun.
The Large Magellanic Cloud. The Milky Way has a number of satellite galaxies, but the biggest one is the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is about 163,000 light-years away and around 1/100th the size of the Milky Way. Unlike our spiral galaxy, this one lacks a clean spiral shape. Some scientists think that is because the Milky Way and other galaxies are pulling and warping it. In terms of distance, there are two contenders for closest satellite galaxy. One group of stars is small enough that astronomers consider it a âdwarf galaxy.â
