Are there at least 60 billion spiral galaxies in the universe?
There at least 60 billion spiral galaxies in the universe because the spiral galaxies comprise of about 60 percent of all galaxies which are about 100 billion.
How many types of spiral galaxies are there?
Yes. There are two types of spiral galaxies: "S" (normal spiral) and the less common "SB" (barred spiral, with an elongated center).
Are some spiral galaxies up to 13 billion light-years from Earth?
Yes. Some spiral galaxies are up to 13 billion light-years from Earth.
How can astronomers make a mosaic of 100 billion galaxies in the universe of every shape size and color?
Astronomers could make this complex mosaic on the side of a large building, but it is unlikely that they would be able to include all 100 billion galaxies (i.e. 60 billion spiral/barred spiral galaxies, 20 billion lenticular galaxies, 15 billion elliptical galaxies, and 5 billion irregular/peculiar galaxies).
What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
Will Hubble make a 3D map of at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?
No, because it will be impossible for Hubble make a 3D map of at least 100 billion galaxies (i.e. 60 billion spiral and barred spiral galaxies, 20 billion lenticular galaxies, 15 billion elliptical galaxies, and 5 billion irregular/peculiar galaxies) in the observable universe, at distances up to 13 billion light-years; since the observable universe is 13.7 billion light-years in diameter.
What are the types or categories for galaxies?
Spiral galaxies, barred spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies
What galaxy has a bulge like hub in the center?
Nearly all spiral galaxies, including our own, have such a feature.
How many galaxies are spiral?
Approximately 60% of all galaxies are spiral
How many barred spiral galaxies there?
It's not known to any degree of accuracy, but about 66% of all spiral galaxies are barred and about 60% of galaxies in the local Universe are spiral galaxies.
What are the 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
How are galaxies classifyed?
spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
