What was the first galaxy outside the milkyway to be reconizged as a galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy.
When was the Andromeda Galaxy discovered?
The Andromeda Galaxy is one of the few galaxies that is observable with the naked eye. Because of this, it cannot be said to be "discovered" as it has obviously been viewed by "man" since the earliest times.
What is the name of a Muslim astronomer who is believed to have discovered the galaxy of Andromeda in the tenth century?
Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi was a Persian astronomer of the 10th century, who wrote the 'Book of Fixed Stars' in 964 AD. He is thought to have made the first recorded observation of the Andromeda galaxy, although it wasnt recognised as a separate galaxy from our own until well into the 20th century.
What date was the Andromeda galaxy discovered?
There is no real discovery. It is visible to the naked eye, and so can be seen by anyone on a clear, moonless night. The first recorded mention of it was in the year 964.
What was the name of the first galaxy ever made?
a telescopeIn 1925, Edwin Hubble discover cepheid variable(s) in what we now call the Andromeda Galaxy. From those he could tell that the group of stars was too far away to be part of the Milky Way. It was the first proof that other galaxies exist.
What was the instrument used to find the Andromeda galaxy?
The Andromeda galaxy was discovered using a telescope. Specifically, it was first observed by Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi in the 10th century using a basic refracting telescope. Subsequent observations have been made with more advanced telescopes to study Andromeda in greater detail.
What would happen if someone traveled from earth to the Andromeda galaxy and back?
They would get a prize and a recommendation for the first person to do it.
What is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy?
The closest galaxy to our galaxy the Sagittarius galaxy but its Dwarf Galaxy, Andromeda is the Complete Galaxy and yet classified as the Galaxy which is closest to our galaxy. Facts : There are 12 Dwarf galaxies and 1 complete galaxy within the distance of 500,000 light years. Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards our galaxy at the speed 300,000 Kilometers per hour, but its so far that i would take millions of year to have a clash.
Who discovered the Andromeda galaxy?
The earliest recorded observation of the Andromeda Galaxy was in 964 CE by the Persian astronomer, Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) who described it as a "small cloud" in his Book of Fixed Stars. Other star charts of that period have it labeled as the Little Cloud. The first description of the object based on telescopic observation was given by Simon Marius in 1612. Charles Messier catalogued it as object M31 in 1764 and incorrectly credited Marius as the discoverer, unaware of Al Sufi's earlier work.
What date was Andromeda discovered?
Whether you're talking about Andromeda the constellation, or Andromeda the galaxy, both were 'discovered' by the first hominid who had eyes to see with, and enough brain to wonder about that particular group of stars, or that particular fuzzy patch of light, above him at night. The date is lost in antiquity. There were very few people who owned calendars at that time, and those who did had no walls to hang them on. If you are at least as well equipped as that early hominid, then you can discover both the constellation and the galaxy for yourself, at some time of night or other during at least 3/4 of the year. In order to see the galaxy, you'll need a place where the sky is roughly as dark as it was for those early hominids, before civilization came along and polluted it.
If Hubble saw the Andromeda galaxy first and deduced the galaxies are all flying away from each other why is the Milky Way soon going to collide with Andromeda?
andromeda and milky way (us) maybe moving in the same direction but the milky way is the smaller and 'lighter' so we may be moving faster than the 'bulky' andromeda galaxy hence why there is a strongly suggested theory that we may collide but not in our lifetime. hope this helps
What is the first galaxy in world 4 in Mario galaxy 2?
