With a ship selected, use the "warp" command ("w" button, or the icon of a wormhole with an arrow going in)
then click the wormhole.

Travelling through will take you to another starsystem, or possibly a nebula/blackhole.

The entire map is usually referred to as the galaxy map, implying that there is only one galaxy in any one game.

PS: Your ship will only be damaged if the wormhole's description mentions something dangerous. No description = no danger.
