Why do stars in constellations move?
All of the stars in the Milky Way Galaxy are moving... however, we, in our lifetime, will never notice the constellations changing.
Do all-stars move in the sky explain?
Yes. Stars move themselves independently in space. Our own sun in fact is also moving through our Milky Way Galaxy.
Does the north star move does it have motion?
Yes. It's part of the Milky Way galaxy, but appears to be motionless to the human eye.
Why do all stars appear to move except the pole star?
Those stars except Polaris or the North Pole stars really orbit the Milky Way Galaxy but not Outside
Do all-stars move?
Yes. Every star has a "proper motion", which is their motion relative to the solar system. Some stars are moving toward us, while others are moving away. Nothing is standing still. Of course, the Earth is moving around the Sun, and the Sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy, and the Milky Way galaxy itself is moving - but we can't know where. Every other galaxy is moving too, and there isn't a way to identify where the Big Bang started.
Why do stars move in the Galaxy for what force?
The revolution of stars about the center of the galaxy is like that of planets around the sun, only in a larger scale. The motion is caused by angular momentum (which derives ultimately from the Big Bang) and the stars are prevented from flying off in all directions by the gravitational field of the galaxy.
Does the milky way galaxy move in a counter clockwise fashion?
Yes
What is a galaxy and which do you live in?
.A galaxy is, by definition, any large collection of stars that can be recognized as a distinct physical entity. In terms of the number of stars, a small 'dwarf irregular' galaxy like the Small Magellanic Cloud, has about one billion stars in it, but there are even smaller systems that are recognized as galaxies such as the Leo I and II dwarf galaxies with about 1 million stars in them, and the Draco System with a few hundred thousand stars in it. The largest star cluster, a globular cluster called Messier 15 has about 6 million stars, so we see that for small galaxies, there is a blurring together of what we mean by a galaxy and a large star cluster. In addition to their mass and numbers of stars, a galaxy is a collection of stars and gas which move through the universe independently of the Milky Way. Globular clusters are roundish swarms of stars that orbit the Milky Way, while the Leo and Draco Systems seem to be independent collections of stars.And we live in the milky way galaxy By:Cierra Currier
Do all galaxies move at the same speed?
As with all space questions about speed, it all depends on your point of reference. Within the Milky Way, the orbital rate of the stars increase as you move away from the centre of the galaxy.
Is there evidence for a black hole at the center of your galaxy?
Yes. For example, stars close to the center of our Milky Way have been observed to move around a massive object; the movement of the stars is consistent with a mass of around 4 million times the mass of our Sun.
Can the matter in the milky way create a new constellation?
Constellations are made up of star patterns. Over tens of thousands of years, as the stars move and slowly change their locations, new constellations may appear. Since stars are technically "matter" AND they are in the Milky Way Galaxy, I suppose the answer to your question could be "maybe". What do you mean by "matter" ?
Is it true that the sun does not move?
No, the sun both spins, and moves with the rotation of the Milky Way. Additionally, it move through space with the galaxy.
