Constellation :)
What else can I help you with?
What do you call stars that are bunched together in part of a galaxy?
Constellation :)
What do you call stars grouped together?
Depending on size, that's probably either a globular star cluster (a vaguely spherical grouping of tens of thousands of stars within a galaxy), or a galaxy (an elliptical, disc-shaped or irregular grouping of billions of stars - including several globular clusters).
What you call a vast group of stars?
A vast group of stars is called a galaxy. Galaxies are large systems of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter, bound together by gravity. The Milky Way is an example of a galaxy that contains our solar system.
What do you call the vast group of stars gas and dust?
A galaxy.
What do you call a huge mass of stars and planets?
A huge mass of stars and planets is called a galaxy.
What do you call a huge group of stars close to each other?
A galaxy
What is the difference between star and galaxy?
The Galaxy, also call the Milky Way, is made of stars. Other, distant star systems are called galaxies (lower case g) by analogy.
What do you call a group of stars that are close together?
constelltions
What do you call large scale groups of star held together by gravitational attraction?
Groups at different scales (from smaller to larger) are called:* Multiple stars (two or more stars that are gravitationally bound) * Star clusters * Galaxies * Galaxy clusters * Superclusters
What is a galaxy called that has nuclear region of more or less uniform brightness from which long lanes of stars curve outward?
If the curvature of the lanes of stars is sufficiently tight, one might call that a "spiral galaxy" in keeping with its visual appearance.
What is the galaxy closest to earth?
The closest galaxy has to be the one we call the "Milky Way", since the sun is one of the stars in it, and we and our whole solar system are inside it. The next closest is the one we call the "Andromeda Galaxy" because we see it among the stars of the "Andromeda" constellation. It's something like 2.5 million light years distant from us.
Why do you call Milky Way your galaxy?
Somebody looked at the "clouds of stars" and thought it looked like milk spilt out in the sky.
