What has the Hubble Telescope accomplished?
it has taken pictures of far away galaxies, stars, and planets.
Are the stars you see at night from other galaxies?
No. All the stars you see at night are in our galaxy. Stars in other galaxies are much too far away to be seen without a powerful telescope.
Is your sun and other stars far away in another galaxy too far to feel a gravitational force between them?
Galaxies do exert significant gravitational attraction on other galaxies. For example, the Greater and the Lesser Magellanic Clouds are galaxies that orbit our own galaxy, the Milky Way. In that sense, the stars in one galaxy do have a gravitational interaction with those in other galaxies. Of course, the more distant galaxies have correspondingly less gravitational interaction with ours.
Which star is furthest away from the sun?
There are loads of stars all throughout our universe in millions of different galaxies. The furthest stars away from us in our own galaxy are going to be around 70,000 light years away, on the other side of our galaxy. But other galaxies containing stars will be millions of light years away. The furthest ones will be on the edge of the universe some 14 billion light years away.
Why are stars so small in the sky?
The stars only appear small because they are extremely far away. The stars are in fact enormous.

Can faint background galaxies be mistaken for stars?
Yes. Far-away galaxies can be mistaken for stars and occasionally are. This is due to the galaxies being millions upon millions of light years (the distance light can travel in a year) away from earth.
Why are the stars not as light as the moon?
stars are galaxies away from us and the moon isn't

What you get when stars are moving away?
When stars or galaxies are moving away from the observer, you will notice a redder shift in the color of the body.
How far are galaxies?
quintillions of miles away.
Why do distant stars Actually very far from each other appear to be close together in the sky?
Because they are so far away that the light is too dim and diffuse to make out individual stars or groups of stars. With a high-powered telescope, you can distinguish other galaxies from the closer objects in our own Milky Way galaxy, whose stars are all around us.
What do you expect to find in the other galaxies?
Maybe life on planets far far away!
Which stars are actually a galaxy?
No stars are actually a galaxy. All stars are stars and all galaxies are galaxies. Stars are found in galaxies. Some galaxies look like tiny dots in our night sky, so might look like a star, but they are not stars; they are galaxies.
What are all stars and galaxies in?
All stars and galaxies are in the universe.
Are stars far away or close to the solar system?
stars are pretty far away from the solar system
