The Space Junk Galaxy is a galaxy in the game Super Mario Galaxy. This Galaxy has a futuristic/space theme. A lot of the objects are silver or blue, and there is a spaceship in it.
The Pull Star is used much more than in the other known galaxies. Also, Toads in the Toad Brigade are on a big platform covered in crystals; if Mario frees the Toads trapped in the crystals, the main Starshroom will appear to take Mario to the next location. There is also a wooden planet shaped like Yoshi's head.
The last unique feature of this galaxy is that it has a path that builds itself when Mario approaches it, but crumbles after he leaves. This is later re-used in Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, except the path crumbles after a few seconds automatically.
Mario fights two bosses in this galaxy: Tarantox and Kamella.
Planets
Starting Planet
The Space Ship is a "planet" that consists mostly of just coins. It is a big, long, red-and-tan space ship floating around in space. It is encountered on the route to Tarantox. At the end of it is a Sling Pod, and that's literally all there is, along with a few Cosmic Scuttle Bugs. It's also thought the ship is Olimar's ship, referring to the Pikmin series, but this has not been confirmed.
Unkown Planet
One of the Unkown Planet's is a planet mostly made of maroon, dark red, brownish rock. It has a sort of arch, as seen in the picture. This planet is an entrance to Tarantox's lair. The pre-boss music begins when Mario lands on this planet, and the spider's Sticky Planet is nearby.
The Rock Planet is the first planet in the game to have a Sling Pod and is the beginning of a long path of them
Unkown Planet
One of the Unkown Planet's is a planet that is encountered shortly before the battle with Tarantox.
At first, Mario walks on top of it, which is practically a transparent crystal orb. Once he finds the passageway in, he can go under the crystal layer and explore underneath, where 1-Up Mushrooms and other treats are waiting. There are also a few Space Rabbits underneath the crystal layer, who guide Mario through to the Launch Star.
Tarantox's Planet
Tarantox's Planet is exceptionally large and looks like a giant version of the top of a Sling Pod. In fact, Mario uses a Sling Pod to get to the planet, breaking its shell open and revealing a giant sticky spider web, where he fights Tarantox, who is frozen inside the Sticky Planet.
Yoshi Planet
The Yoshi Planet is a planet in the shape of a large, wooden Yoshi head that shoots red steam out of its nostrils. This appears to be the third reference to the Yoshi clan in Super Mario Galaxy, the first being the Yoshi game file icon, and the second the Yoshi Egg Planet that was shown earlier.

Kamella's Airship Attack
In this mission Mario has to go across airships to fight Kamella. He uses Green Shells a lot in this mission.
Tarantox's Tangled Web
The player must traverse various planets until they finally break open Tarantox's planet and fight him. Sling pods are first seen here.
Onc the player finishes the level, the Sling Pod Galaxy will be unlocked via Hungry Luma.
Pull Star Path (Speedy Comet in Orbit)
The Speedy Comet mission for this Galaxy. Mario must go through Pull Star Path under a time limit.
Purple Coin Space Walk (Purple Comit in Orbit)
Mario must collect 100 Purple Coins in the area at the end of Pull Star Path. The coins come in bunches of 10 on several platforms. It is also timed.
Yoshi's Unexpected Appearence
After Mario feeds a Hungry Luma, it turns into the Yoshi Head Planet. On this planet, the player must defeat all the coinless, star-bit-less Goombas to get the Power Star to appear. A counter is kept for the amount of times Mario jumps on Goombas consecutively and if the count goes over 8 Mario will get 1ups.
