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.

Is Virgo Cluster a group of galaxies?
the Virgo Cluster is a cluster of galaxies at a distance of approximately 59 million light years
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.
How many stars does the Cartwheel Galaxy contain?
Answer: These numbers are only estimates of course. Over the years estimates of the numbers of stars in our Galaxy has gradually increased. Good sources give various numbers ranging from about 200 billion up to 500 billion. I think the higher numbers are more likely to be correct. Our Milky Way Galaxy is, very roughly, average. So, a typical galaxy should contain a few hundred billion stars. Answer: It is very hard to give a "typical" number. The answer above refers mainly to our own galaxy, but there are lots of galaxies that are much, much smaller - and there are also giants that are much larger than our galaxy. Thus, a typical galaxy may contain anywhere between about 10 million stars, and a trillion (i.e., a million million) stars, although you'll probably find galaxies with more than that.
