How many galaxies are in the Virgo supercluster?
The Virgo Supercluster contains over 100 galaxy groups and clusters, including the well-known Virgo Cluster. Estimates suggest that it harbors approximately 2,000 galaxies, although some sources propose that the total could be higher, potentially encompassing up to 3,000 galaxies when accounting for smaller groups and isolated galaxies. This supercluster is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster, which includes our Milky Way galaxy.
What is the name of the cluster of galaxies to which the milky way belongs?
Some names I've heard are: The observeable universe The local universe
Is a planet a cluster of galaxies?
No, a galaxy is a cluster of stars, some of which might have planets.
What is the name given to the cluster of galaxies to which our Milky Way belongs?
I'm not sure of your question, but in astronomy, there is a "Local Group" of more than 20 galaxies to which the Milky Way belongs. About half are elliptical, with the remainder being of the spiral or irregular type. As in other clusters of galaxies, members are probably kept from separating by their mutual gravitational attraction. The Milky Way system is near one end of the volume of space occupied by the Local Group, and the great Andromeda galaxy (M31) is near the other end, about 2,000,000 light-years away.
In order of size starting with largest star cluster galaxy universe star planet?
Universe, Cluster, Galaxy, Star, Planet NB: Some stars are smaller than planets.
what star in Virgo's constellation is the furthest away?
In Virgo, and in all other constellations, astronomers can see objects all the way to the edge of the observable universe. Some of these objects are galaxies containing billions of stars.
What is an orphan star?
Not all stars belong to galaxies. Galaxies collide, and this process strips stars from their parent galaxy and hurls them into intergalactic space. The Hubble Space Telescope has detected a few hundred very bright, orphan, stars between the galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. Although stars most certainly form inside some collection of matter such as a galaxy, their history after formation can include being ejected from a galaxy and becoming an orphan star.
What are galactic clusters clumped together into larger groups called?
There are 35 galaxies in the so-called "Local Group" The three largest galaxies are the Milky Way (our own), and the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies. However, most of the visible stars we see are part of the Milky Way and two nearby dwarf galaxies, the "Small Magellanic Cloud" and the "Large Magellenic Cloud". There are 10 other dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way.
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.
What is a goup of sea dragons called?
