What else can I help you with?
What is after the milky way?
After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.
What is the best way the galaxy is described as?
Universe is describing the galaxies. There are different galaxies and our galaxy is called Milky Way Galaxy. There are some other galaxies miles away from ours.
What do other galaxies in the universe have in common with the milky way galaxy?
They all contain some form of sphere (ball)
How does Milky Way stack up against the other galaxies in the Local group?
It is the second largest, by quite some margin.
Are there other galaxies besides the Milky Way galxay?
Yes. Some examples of galaxies (which you can look up) are the: Andromeda Galaxy, the Large Magellanic cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
Are there planets inside of galaxies?
Yes. Our own solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. Thousands of other systems with planets have been discovered in our galaxy. The number of planets in our galaxy alone prbably numbers in the billions.
Is the milky way the smallest galaxy?
no, the milky way is a typical barred spiral with about 200 billion stars some dwarf galaxies my only have a few million stars in fact, there are 2 dwarf galaxies orbiting the milky way that are much smaller
Does the galaxy moving each other?
Yes, some of the galaxies are moving toward each other like our milky way and Andromeda moving toward each other with the speed 120 km per second and after 3 billion years from now these galaxies collide with one another. The current distance of Andromeda from milky way is about 2.5 million light years
Did Edwin Hubble discover that galaxies are moving toward the earth?
Hubble discovered other galaxies than our own. His work lead to the idea that these galaxies are generally moving away from our own Milky Way. Further, logical thinkers considered that the universe itself is expanding. And if the universe is expanding, it must at some point have been "compressed" with all the matter closer together. This is the source of the idea we call the Big Bang.
What other types of galaxies are there besides the milky way?
The answer is YES. There are an estimated 200 billion galaxies in the known Universe. Most of these galaxies are relatively similar to our own, some bigger, some smaller, some differently shaped. Most galaxies hold 50-200 billion stars, and average about 50,000 - 100,000 light years across. Light travels at 180,000 miles PER SECOND, so if it only takes 2 seconds to get to the moon, 30 seconds to Mars, but 100,000 light years to cross our own galaxy, imagine the size! Mind boggling!
Do all galaxies have a black hole at their center?
Not all galaxies have a black hole at their center. Some galaxies, like our own Milky Way, do have a supermassive black hole at their center, while others do not.
What are the names of some irregular galaxies?
Canis Major Dwarf and Small Magellanic Cloud are irregular satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.The two irregular galaxies that orbit the Milky Way are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
