Can a supernova create other galaxies?
No. A supernova is only a single exploding star and only the mass of one large star is involved. A galaxy is billions of times more massive than even the largest star.
Which kind of object is the best standard candle for measuring distances to extremely distant galaxies?
Probably type la supernova
What do the largest and brightest galaxies contain?
quasars.
What does the Hubble space telescope take pictures of?
It takes pictures of nebulae, stars, planets galaxies, supernova remnant and more.
What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
The largest and brightest galaxies are those that contain?
quasars.

quasars.
How many stars do the largest galaxies have?
The largest galxies have stars numbering in the tens of trillions.
What is largest the universe or galaxy?
universe is largest. universe is made up of billions of galaxies.
Is Andromeda galaxy the largest?
It is the largest galaxy in our local group, but there are larger galaxies elsewhere in the universe.
What is the largest known structure in the universe and is composed of galaxies and clusters of galaxies?
A so-called "great wall", which is a block of galaxies more than a billion light-years long.
What is the largest supernova?
SN 2006gy was the brightest and largest supernova ever discovered, scientists announced. The star was in the NGC 1260 galaxy, in the same direction as the constellation Perseus and may be a type of supernova previously predicted by theory but not observed. The conclusion was reached after extended observations of the supernova by both optical telescopes and X-ray telescopy. Currently, there are two possible explanations for the supernova's brightness, but both require the star in question to have been at least a hundred times as massive as the sun. Although the supernova is brighter than SN 1987A, which was bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, SN 2006gy is too far away to be seen by the naked eye.
