How many stars in the average galaxy?
Galaxies vary a lot in size, from dwarf galaxies that have a few hundred million stars, to huge galaxies with a hundred trillion stars. (That's a ratio of about 1 to a million.)Our own galaxy has somewhere between 200 and 400 billion stars. Actually, most galaxies are quite a bit smaller than our own galaxy, since dwarf galaxies occur in larger numbers.
Most elliptical galaxies have only what?
Older stars
Do stars form into galaxies?
Galaxies are vast collections of stars. So I guess you could say that a big group of stars forms a galaxy. Our galaxy has many big clusters of stars within it, so not all star clusters are galaxies. If you have a cluster of several million or billion (or trillion) stars surrounded by a lot of empty space, that is probably a galaxy.
What galaxy has the youngest stars?
Most new, young, stars can be found in the arms of spiral galaxies
What determines the shape of a galaxy?
That is related to their past history. Many galaxies have undergone collisions with other galaxies; this takes out most of the interstellar gas, and the galaxies can no longer form new stars. If I remember correctly, such galaxies will change into elliptical galaxies.That is related to their past history.

What are some galaxy facts?
most ellipical galaxies have old stars
Are nebulae and constellations found within galaxies?
constellations are actually pictures that the stars seem to be arranged in from particular point of view, while nebulae are places where stars form. Both the Orion Nebula and the stars in the constellation Orion are visible from Earth, and both are in the Milky Way Galaxy, of which we are also a member. In fact, most things that you see in the night sky are part of our galaxy.
What are young galaxy stars that have giant black holes at the center?
It's not "galaxy stars", but galaxies, that have the black holes at their center.All, or most, galaxies have a giant black hole at their center.
Are all stars in the Milky Way galaxy?
No, the vast majority of stars are outside the Milky Way galaxy. However, most of the stars we can actually see as individual stars are in the Milky Way. About the only exception is supernovae ... those are so bright that we can distinguish them even in other galaxies.
Why are spiral galaxies so bright?
The brightness of normal galaxies is mainly due to stars; quasars are believed to get most of their energy output from the black hole at their center.
What types of stars do elliptical galaxies usually have?
Yes. However, the current rate of star creation is less than when the galaxies were younger.Yes. However, the current rate of star creation is less than when the galaxies were younger.Yes.

How are stars and galexys born?
born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies.
