The terms galactic corona and gaseous corona have been used in the first decade of the 21st century to describe a hot, ion ised, gaseous component in the Galactic halo of the Milky Way . A similar body of very hot and tenuous gas in the halo of any spiral galaxy may also be described by these terms. This coronal gas may be sustained by the galactic fountain , in which superbubble s of ionised gas from supernova remnant s expand vertically through galactic chimney s into the halo. As the gas cools, it is pulled back into the galactic disc of the galaxy by gravitational forces.

other uses unreferenced date August 2011 Galactic empires are a common trope literature trope used in science fiction and science fantasy , particularly in space opera . Many authors have either used a galaxy spanning empire as background, or written about the growth or decline of such an empire. The capital of a galactic empire is frequently a core world or home world. Frank Herbert s Dune novel Dune involves hitherto disregarded desert dwellers creating a powerful new religion and burst out to topple an old empire and build a new one. The best known to the general public today is probably Galactic Empire Star Wars the empire from Star Wars , which was formed in turn from the Galactic Republic Star Wars Galactic Republic . Most of these galaxy spanning domains depend on some form of transportation capable of quickly or instantly crossing vast cosmic distances usually measured in light year s , many times faster than could photons at light speed. These invariably require some type of propulsion or displacement technology forbidden by Einstein s Theory of Relativity , or that otherwise relies on theories that circumvent or supersede relativity. See warp drive hyperspace Alcubierre drive . The term galactic empire has, no doubt because of association with the Empire from Star Wars , gained an unfavorable reputation. However, the Galactic Empires from Foundation series Foundation and the CoDominium universe are relatively benign organizations indeed, much of the plot of the Foundation series revolves around the issue of who can best and quickest revive the fallen galactic empire, it being taken for granted that this is a positive and worthy aim.

The galactic plane is the plane mathematics plane in which the majority of a disk shaped galaxy s mass lies. The directions perpendicular to the galactic plane point to the galactic poles . Most often, in actual usage, the terms galactic plane and galactic poles are used to refer specifically to the plane and poles of the Milky Way , which is the galaxy in which the Earth is located. Some galaxies are irregular and do not have any well defined disk. Even in the case of a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, defining the galactic plane is slightly imprecise and arbitrary since the stars are not perfectly coplanar. In 1959 the International Astronomical Union IAU defined the position of the Milky Way s north galactic pole as exactly right ascension RA RA 12 49 , declination Dec DEC 27 24 in the then used B1950 epoch astronomy epoch in the currently used J2000 epoch, after precession is taken into account, its position is RA RA 12 51 26.282 , Dec DEC 27 07 42.01 . This position is in Coma Berenices , near the bright star Arcturus likewise, the south galactic pole lies in the constellation Sculptor constellation Sculptor . The zero of longitude of galactic coordinates was also defined in 1959 to be at position angle 123 from the north celestial pole . Thus the zero longitude point on the galactic equator was at RA 17 42 26.603 , DEC 28 55 00.445 B1950 or RA 17 45 37.224 , DEC 28 56 10.23 J2000 , and its J2000 position angle is 122.932 . The galactic center is located at position angle 31.72 B1950 or 31.40 J2000 east of north. See also Galactic coordinate system External references citation last1 Reid first1 M.
