Will astronomers do all the redshifts of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe?

Perhaps in the future astronomers will do all the redshifts of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe.


What is the unit that astronomers use to measure the differences between stars and other galaxies?

They do not use units: they use the fact that stars are not galaxies. For example, you don't use units to measure the difference between children and countries.


Hubble's galaxy classification diagram the tuning fork?

Hubble's galaxy classification diagram, often referred to as the "tuning fork," categorizes galaxies into three main types: elliptical, spiral, and irregular. The diagram resembles a fork, with elliptical galaxies on the left, spirals on the right, and irregular galaxies branching off below. Spiral galaxies are further divided into subcategories based on their structure, with "normal" and "barred" spirals. This classification helps astronomers understand the characteristics and evolutionary pathways of different galaxy types.


If light from galaxies is redshifted what can astronomers conclude about galaxies?

That the galaxy is moving away from us.


What term do astronomers use to describe a galaxy that has a jumbled scattering of stars?

Astronomers refer to a galaxy with a jumbled scattering of stars as an "irregular galaxy." These galaxies lack a defined shape or structure, distinguishing them from spiral or elliptical galaxies. Irregular galaxies often contain young stars, gas, and dust, and they can be the result of gravitational interactions or collisions with other galaxies.


Will astronomers measure all the distances of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe?

It is possible that someday astronomers will measure all the distances of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe.


Why do astronomers theorize that most of matter in galaxies and clusters of galaxies is dark matter?

most of the mass in a cluster of galaxies is invisible, which provides astronomers with the strongest evidence that the universe contains a great amount of DARK MATTER
