Understanding Intragalactic Phenomena

Intragalactic refers to something that occurs or exists within a galaxy. It is used to describe phenomena that are internal to a particular galaxy, as opposed to intergalactic phenomena which occur between different galaxies.

For example, the formation of stars and planets within a galaxy is an intragalactic process, while the collision of two galaxies is an intergalactic event. Similarly, the movement of stars and other celestial objects within a galaxy is intragalactic motion, while the movement of galaxies themselves in the larger cosmic context is intergalactic motion.

In summary, intragalactic refers to anything that happens within a galaxy, as opposed to outside of it.
