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.

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 12h49m, declination 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 12h51m26.282s, 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 17h42m26.603s, 28 55 00.445 B1950 or 17h45m37.224s, 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.

The Golem is an artificial creature that draws its energy from starlight. During its first battle with Superman, it releases so much energy that it appears to wipe out all life on Earth, leaving only Superman, the Golem, and Luthor. Luthor is remorseful, but discovers that the energy had shifted all Earth s inhabitants safely into a parallel world.
