Is Canis Majoris the biggest star in the Milky Way Galaxy?
VY Canis Majoris is the largest star we know of, but most of the stars in the Milky Way are still uncharted, so there may be larger stars we have not found yet.
If civilization lived on a planet in an E0 galaxy do you think they would have a Milky Way in the sky?
It's doubtful if a civilization could still exist within an elliptical galaxy due to the age of the stars. If they could, then the sky would have a slight red tinge, nothing like the Milky Way.
Is our solar system located outside the Milky Way Galaxy?
No. Our solar system is part of the MIlky Way galaxy. It's just kind of on an outer edge, and the galaxy is immense (like 100 billion stars or so), so we can still see the rest of it, even though we're part of it.
Which galaxy do humans live in?
We are currently, and always part of the "Milky Way" galaxy. The Milky Way has the only life forms known so far, humans. The "Life on Mars" theory is still being predicted and experimented by scientists. So far we are the only living organisms, apart from plants also, alive. The Milky Way galaxy, which had many events happened, which was MAJORLY part of the "Big Bang" theory. Milky Way is extremely close the the Sagittarius galaxy. approximately 500 light years).
To which galaxy did Pluto go?
Pluto is still in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Is voyager still in the Milky Way galaxy?
Both Voyager 1 and 2 are still well within the Milky Way galaxy - see the related link below which will give you the distance each craft is from the Earth .
Which galaxy is 34.8 billion miles from earth?
34.8 billion miles would still be in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
What percentage of stars in the sky are not in the milky way?
That depends on how you define the "Milky Way". Technically, the "Milky Way" refers to a faint band of light that crosses the night sky. This band is how we see the star-dense disk of our galaxy from our vantage point inside that disk. Our galaxy was named for this band of light, and called the "Milky Way Galaxy". Note that the "Milky Way" and the "Milky Way Galaxy" refer to two different things. The answer also depends on what you mean by "stars in the sky". Do you mean the stars that can be seen from Earth? And if so, with the naked eye, or with a telecope? How powerful a telescope? Or do you mean every star that is "out there", i.e., every star in the universe, whether we can see it or not? I could sit here all day researching and entering answers to all the different ways this question could be interpreted. But I'm not going to waste that kind of time until you tell me what you are talking about. However, there is one way of interpreting this question that I already know the answer to, and I will give you that answer here. If the "Milky Way" means the galaxy, and if "stars in the sky" means stars visible, with the naked eye, from Earth's surface, then the answer is zero. There are no stars outside of our galaxy that are visible from here on Earth. There are a few "objects" outside our galaxy that are visible with the naked eye. But these objects are, for the most part, galaxies themselves, not individual stars. They are so far away that their immense masses appear to us as tiny pinpoints of light, indistinguishable from the true stars we can see. In fact, they are dimmer than most of the stars we can see. In all of the universe, I believe there is not a single individual star outside of our galaxy that is bright enough to be seen from Earth with the naked eye. But I may be wrong on that. There MAY be a couple of stars in one of the Magellanic Clouds that can be seen. But even if that is the case, the answer to the question is still, essentially, zero.
Why is there more gravity in the Andromeda galaxy compared to the milky way?
There isn't "more gravity" in the Andromeda galaxy, because that's essentially a meaningless phrase. It used to be believed that the Andromeda galaxy was larger and more massive than the Milky Way. It's still thought to be larger (in terms of the number of stars), but the Milky Way may actually be more massive. It's hard for scientists to tell how exactly how big the Milky Way is because we're inside it and "can't see the forest for the trees".
Why is the pleides called a steller nursery?
Pleiades is considered a stellar nursery because it is a dense region of stars and gas in our galaxy where stars are still being formed. Basically, Pleiades is a stellar-sized birthing place of stars.
Are planets in the galaxy?
Pluto may be found about 40 astronomical units away from the star Sol. You could also say it is about 328 light minutes from Sol. Sol itself is in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy, about 2/3rds from the center.
If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?
The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years. If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk, we would still be within the galaxy's boundaries, so the diameter would remain around 100,000 light-years.
