A fact is a pragmatic truth, a statement that can, at least in theory, be checked and confirmed. Facts are often contrasted with opinions and beliefs, statements which are held to be true, but are not amenable to pragmatic confirmation.The word fact derives from the Latin Factum, and was first used in English with the same meaning: "a thing done or performed", a use that is now obsolete. The common usage of, "something that has really occurred or is the case", dates from the middle of the sixteenth century. Fact is sometimes used as synonymous with truth or reality, as distinguishable from conclusions or opinions. This use is found in such phrases Matter of fact, and "... not history, nor fact, but imagination."

2. The galactic halo is the first portion of the galaxy to be formed. Formation of halos is caused by increased gravitational effects and the presence of primordial black holes. When baryonic and dark matter merges, halos are formed.

3. A globular cluster is a large compact spherical star cluster, typically of old stars in the outer regions of a galaxy.

4. Spiral arms are region of a large concentration of stars in a spiral galaxy. This large concentration of stars are usually very bright and easily noticeable.

5. The Milky Way galaxy consists of flat, rotating disk containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. The spiral arm that I explained above extends from the center of spiral galaxies. This extension makes it resemble a spiral and thus give spiral galaxies their name.

6. The bulge is a large concentration of stars.
