Do all galaxies contain billions of stars?
Yes, most galaxies contain billions of stars. For instance, our Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars. However, there are smaller galaxies, known as dwarf galaxies, that may contain as few as a few million stars. Despite this variation, the majority of galaxies are star-rich and typically hold vast numbers of stars.
Systems that contain millions of stars?
a galaxy contains millions or even billions of stars
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.
How many stars do the smallest galaxies have?
Generally the boundary between "cluster" and "galaxy" is considered to be somewhere in the vicinity of a million stars.
What type of galaxy is THE EYES?
The Eyes Galaxies are a pair of galaxies about 52 million light years away in the constellation Virgo.They are both spiral galaxies.
What is the distance between milky way and a group of galaxies know as the Virgo cluster?
That's at a distance of about 54 million light-years from us.
Is a cluster a group of galaxies?
the Virgo Cluster is a cluster of galaxies at a distance of approximately 59 million light years
How do astronomers classify galaxy's?
They classify Galaxy's by their shape, size, composition & color. Galaxies are large systems of stars and interstellar matter, typically containing several million to some trillion stars, of masses between several million and several trillion times that of our Sun, of an extension of a few thousands to several 100,000s light years, typically separated by millions of light years distance. They come in a variety of flavors: Spiral, lenticular, elliptical, and irregular. Besides simple stars, they typically contain various types of star clusters and nebulae.

What is the distance between the Milky Way and a group of galaxies known as the Virgo Cluster?
According to Wikipedia, 53.8 ± 0.3 million light-years.
How many galaxies space?
Do you know how many galaxies are in space?It is never ending just like space.
Will the SIMBAD database have all the classifications of 100 billion galaxies?
No. As of 2013 HyperLeda contains a database of about 3 million objects, about half of which are known to be galaxies.
