Yes, if two stars are along the same line of sight from our perspective, the closer one prevents us from seeing the farther one.

Are some background galaxies invisible due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy?
Yes. Some background galaxies are invisible due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy.
Are some faint background galaxies masked out due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy?
Yes. Some faint background galaxies are masked out due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy.
How can astronomers redshift a background galaxy that is masked out due to being close to the bright foreground galaxy?
Wavelengths is what allows astronomers redshift a background galaxy that is covered up. This is due to being close to the foreground galaxy.
Can faint background galaxies be mistaken for stars?
Yes. Far-away galaxies can be mistaken for stars and occasionally are. This is due to the galaxies being millions upon millions of light years (the distance light can travel in a year) away from earth.
How many background galaxies are behind the Tadpole galaxy?
There are 6000 background galaxies behind the Tadpole galaxy, at distances up to 13 billion light years.
What kinds of galaxies are bright cores and spiral galaxies?
a spiral galaxy is what you call a "kind" or classificationfor example the milky way galaxy is a spiral galaxy
What is a foreground star?
A foreground star, is a star that is observed when looking at further objects, that is not part of that object.For example. If you were looking at a picture of a far galaxy, there might be stars "in the foreground" that are not part of that galaxy. These stars are called foreground star, because they are in the foreground.
How many background galaxies are behind the UGC 10214 galaxy?
There are several thousand background galaxies behind the PGC 54493 galaxy (with billions of stars, planets, and moons in each one; as well as asteroids and nebulae). Their light has taken 13 billion years to reach Earth.
What is the type of galaxy that has a nucleus of bright stars with arms that circles around it?
All types of galaxies have a core with a high star density. All galaxies with "arms" are called Spiral Galaxies, of which there are sub-types related to the shape of the arms.
How many background galaxies are behind the Spiderweb galaxy?
There are tens of thousands of background galaxies behind the Spiderweb galaxy (with billions of stars, planets, and moons in each one; as well as asteroids and nebulae). Their light has taken 12 billion years to reach Earth.
How many background galaxies are behind the VV 29 galaxy?
There are at least 6000 background galaxies behind the VV 29 galaxy (with billions of stars, planets, and moons in each one; as well as asteroids and nebulae). Their light has taken 13 billion years to reach Earth.
How many background galaxies are behind the NGC 2623 galaxy?
There are several thousand background galaxies behind the NGC 2623 galaxy (with billions of stars, planets, and moons in each one; as well as asteroids and nebulae). Their light has taken 13 billion years to reach Earth.
