What is the rate of formation of new stars in the Milky Way galaxy?
The rate of formation of new stars in the Milky Way galaxy is estimated to be about 1-2 stars per year.
Where within the Milky Way are new stars being formed?
Inside the Milky Way galaxy.....
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" ?
When are stars born?
New stars are being born all the time. The rate of star formation in the Milky Way is about 7 new stars a year.
The Milky Way galaxy contains instellar matter may?
The Milky Way Galaxy contains interstellar matter that may form new stars.
What effect can the milky way planet have?
The Milky Way galaxy is not a planet; it is a vast collection of stars, gas, and dust. However, the gravitational pull of the Milky Way can influence the motion of planets within our solar system, including Earth, as well as other celestial bodies. Additionally, the Milky Way's spiral arms are regions where new stars are born, potentially shaping the evolution of planetary systems within them.
What type of galaxy has giant bright new stars around the edges and older stars in the middle?
a spiral galaxy like the milky way
What galaxy has arms where lots of new stars are being born?
The Milky Way galaxy has spiral arms where a lot of new stars are being born, including the Orion Arm where our solar system is located. These spiral arms are regions of higher density that promote the formation of new stars due to gravitational interactions between gas and dust.
Milky Way is what shape of galaxy?
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy. It features a central bar-shaped structure of stars, with spiral arms extending outward that contain gas, dust, and new stars. The galaxy is roughly 100,000 light-years in diameter and has several satellite galaxies orbiting it.
How long have milky ways been around?
The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 13.6 billion years old, forming not long after the Big Bang, which occurred about 13.8 billion years ago. It has undergone significant changes and mergers with other galaxies over its lifetime. The Milky Way continues to evolve today, with new stars being born and old stars dying.
How does the Andromeda galaxy compare to our own Milky way galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and is roughly 2.537 million light-years away. It is larger than the Milky Way, containing about one trillion stars compared to the Milky Way's estimated 100 to 400 billion stars. Both galaxies are expected to collide in about 4.5 billion years, ultimately merging to form a new galaxy. Additionally, Andromeda has a more prominent central bulge and a higher rate of star formation compared to the Milky Way.
What will happen to the milky way galaxy in the universe?
Difficult to know for certain. However, it seems likely that the Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 3.4 billion years or so. The supermassive black holes that are believed to be in the centers of many galaxies (including the Milky Way) will probably merge, and most of the stars of the combined galaxy will eventually settle into position in the new galaxy. But some stars will likely be flung out into interstellar space.
