bodies, including planets, comets and asteroids, held
together by gravity.
There are many different physical forms and
measurements of galaxies. These include the spiral,
barrel-spiral and elliptical. Our galaxy, called the Milky
Way, is approximately 100,000 light years in width and
contains over 100 billion stars.
The centre of galaxies can contain many young, very
hot stars as well as older stars. Swirling clouds that
have been energized by magnetic forces also exist in
the centre. At this point in time, no one knows the
exact number of galaxies in the universe. Astronomers
are, however, learning more and more about them
everyday.

Ginger is a type of tropical plant. It is typically used in
a variety of cuisines around the world. It can also be
used to add color and flair to gardens and landscapes.
The most common type of ginger used in cooking
today is Zingiber officinale.
As a root plant ginger can reach up to 4 feet high, with
a stalk containing clusters of small, yellow flowers.
When eaten, ginger has a spicy taste--though this dulls
as the plant ages. Young ginger plants are typically
moist and fleshy, and become drier and more fibrous
as they age.
The root of the ginger plant is most often used in
cooking. It can be grated, shredded, or even sliced
over various items. It is a commonly used ingredient
for baking, and is used regularly in cookies, cakes,
pies, and other desserts. This plant can also be used
as a complementary spice to meats, fish, or even pasta
dishes.
According to Disabled World, ginger is often used in
the treatment of cure of nausea, motion sickness, and
upset stomachs. In addition, ginger use has been found
to be effective in the treatment of cataracts,
ammenorhea, and heart disease.
