questions 1 to 3
A galaxy is a collection
of stars and other astronomical 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.
