No you would see an entirely different vista. Most of the stars you can see from earth would not be visible to the naked eye from the galactic core, and they would also be lost in a blaze of glory of the core suns. From within a planetary atmosphere you probably would not be able to see stars even at night, due to the ambient light. The core suns are packed about a quarter of a light year apart.

Yes, at least three galaxies are visible with the unaided eye: The Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud, and the Andromeda Galaxy. And of course we can see our own Milky Way as clouds of light.

No. You can only see other stars in the Milky Way.

_________________________________________

Actually, there are some galaxies that are visible to the naked eye. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way, are perhaps the best examples.

But other more distant galaxies are also visible, although only as dim smudges of light. The visible galaxies are close by as galaxies go, but still incomprehensibly distant on any human scale.

Really DISTANT galaxies? No.

Answer.

From the southern hemisphere, the large and small Magellanic clouds are easily visible to the naked eye, and they are other galaxies. On very clear nights in isolated areas, the closest spiral galaxy to us, Andromeda, is visible to the naked eye and looks like a fuzzy star. If we could see Andromeda's entire width with the same brightness as we see its center, we would see a cloudy disk larger than the moon! Many other more distant galaxies are visible but only with a telescope.

Two or three of them with the naked eye. Billions of them

with optical equipment such as a telescope.

What was the instrument used to find the Andromeda galaxy?

Simply just a high tech telescope to see it in HD but you can see it with your naked eye in the night sky.


Is your galaxy visable in the night sky?

Our galaxy is visible in a night sky that is not obscured by clouds or city lights. It's a band of stars called the milky way. Because we are in it and it's flat like a plate we see it edgewise so it looks like a band of stars that kind of blur together.


What galaxy is spica in?

All the individual stars you can see in the night sky with your eyes are members of the Milky Way galaxy, the same one our sun is in. And they're all relatively nearby members too.


Where in the night sky is the Andromeda galaxy from North America?

The Great Nebula in Andromeda, which is called the "Andromeda galaxy" and is more formally known by its Messier number as "M31 in Andromeda", is between the constellations of Andromeda and Cassiopeia. At this season (January 30, 2011) it is about 60 degrees above the northwestern horizon at sunset. I recommend the open-source planetarium program Stellarium, available from www.stellarium.org, as being the best planetarium software program available. And it's free! The best time to see the Andromeda galaxy, is mid-November. On November 15th, at 9:00 PM, Andromeda galaxy is almost at the zenith (directly above your head). On a very clear, preferably moonless night, look up, and toward the north. Look for a little "wisp" of light. It will be on a straight line from the north horizon to the south horizon, near the zenith, but a bit to the north. It is very rewarding in 10 power binoculars. To see it at other times of the year, you'll need to become familiar with start charts and the night sky in general - what I've given you is the easiest way to see it. Right now, (Feb. 1st) it is near the Northwest horizon at 9:00 PM, and harder to see. Andromeda galaxy is the only thing viewable with the naked eye that is outside of our own Milky Way galaxy. Everything else you see in the night sky with your naked eye is within our own galaxy.


Why do you sometimes see to many stars in the night sky?

You cannot see 'too many' stars in the night sky. You can only see those that are visible. Atmospheric conditions vary and with it, its the transparency. The clearer the sky the more stars you can see.

Are all the stars you see in your own galaxy?

Yes: Any star you see in the night sky is within our own Galaxy.


Can we see our own galaxy in the night sky?

Yes. Well, parts of it. If you look down, on the floor, you see planet Earth, which is part of our own galaxy; and all the stars and planets you see in the night sky are part of our own galaxy. Moreover, if it's dark enough, you can see a band of light, which is what gave our galaxy the name, "Milky Way".


What galaxy is Aldebaran in?

All the stars you can see in the night sky are part of our galaxy, the Milky Way.


How can you see your own galaxy in the night sky?

the reason we can see the milky way in the night sky even though we are in it is because of its shape. i believe the milky way is a helical galaxy, which means that it has 'arms' that spiral outward, like a ninja star. from earth's position on one of these arms, we can see the arm beside the one we are on.


Is sky bigger than galaxy?

The sky that we look up to is the universe itself. You see stars, you see the sun, the moon, some near planets. Asking "is the sky bigger than the galaxy?" makes no sense as a question. You can even see the Milky Way galaxy in the sky on a clear night sometimes. I would say the sky is the galaxy, in a way... The sky is space. We see beyond Earth when we look up to it at night. However our field of view is definitely smaller than a galaxy, we can't see all around the outside of Earth from a single position. In this sense, a galaxy is bigger than the sky. But as I said, the question itself doesn't really make much sense.


What galaxy is Uranus in?

Uranus is in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Everything you can see in the sky at night without a telescope, all the planets and stars are all in our galaxy.


You are looking through your telescope at the night sky and you see a pinwheel shaped object what do you think it is?

An elliptical galaxy


What stars locate milky galaxy?

Go outside on any clear night and look in the sky. Every star you can see is in the Milky Way Galaxy.


When can we see our galaxy?

In the sky.


Does Sagittarius have a galaxy and what is it?

Every star we see in the sky is part of our own Milky Way galaxy. You cannot see any stars in other galaxies with the naked eye.


Why is almost everything we see in the night sky part of the Milky Way Galaxy?

Because that is where most of the visible objects are.


Is a galaxy bigger than a moon?

Yes, much bigger. There are many stars in our galaxy, thousands of millions of them. Everything you see in the night sky is in our galaxy, including the Moon, so the galaxy is much bigger.
