What else can I help you with?
How do you know there are other galaxies?
We can see them in even average sized telescopes.
Are galaxies 10 billion years old too far for us to see even with your most powerful telescopes?
No. Some galaxies that old are visible.
When scientists look at very distant galaxies through powerful telescopes they see the galaxies as they were millions or billions of year ago Why is this?
The vast distances involved means that the light we see left those galaxies a long time ago.

What is the furthest objects visible in the sky are called?
With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy. The farthest objects visible in large telescopes would also be entire galaxies.With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy.

What are the instruments can use to see galaxy?
About 4 galaxies - all of them belonging to the Local Group - can be seen with the unaided eye. For other galaxies, that are either smaller or farther away, telescopes are used.
Why are modern telescopes so important to us?
We can see more stuff.
Can we see outside our galaxy?
Yes, with the help of powerful telescopes, scientists can observe and study objects outside of our galaxy, such as other galaxies, stars, and nebulae.
Why are large telescopes used to study distant galaxies and not small telescopes?
Large telescopes are used to study distant galaxies because they can gather more light, allowing for better resolution and the ability to detect fainter objects. Their larger size also grants them a greater light-gathering capacity, which is essential for observing objects that are billions of light-years away. Additionally, large telescopes offer higher sensitivity and better data collection capabilities, enabling astronomers to analyze and study distant galaxies in greater detail.
What do ultraviolet telescopes see?
Ultraviolet telescopes are similar to optical reflecting telescopes, but their mirrors have special coatings that reflect ultraviolet light very well. Ultraviolet telescopes provide much information about interstellar gas, young stars, and the gaseous areas of active galaxies.
What do people look through a telescope to see?
People commonly look through telescopes to see into space. Telescopes are used by NASA to see stars and planets very far away, and less sophisticated models are used to see planets in our solar system, or even the moon.
What evidence do you have that galaxies collide with one another?
Observations of galaxies captured by telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope show distorted shapes and tidal tails, indicating interactions and collisions between galaxies. Redshift data also reveals galaxies gravitationally interacting and merging as they move closer together in the Universe. Computer simulations based on astronomical models also support the theory of galactic collisions.
