What are galaxies that are found in clusters?
Most galaxies, even our own, are found in groups or clusters. For example, the Local Group contains several galaxies including the Milky Way, Andromeda, and the Magellanic clouds.
How many galaxies are there in a typical cluster of galaxies?
Galaxy clusters typically have anywhere from 50 to 1,000 galaxies.
Explain how galaxies are distributed in space?
galaxies are in every direction in space there in clusters and super clusters
What was hubble named after?
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer that discovered that galaxies outside of the Local Group are moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distances.
What does the big bang theory say about the movement of galaxies?
The Big bang theory states that the galaxies are in fact moving away from each other
What is the name of the group of galaxies the milky way is part of?
local group
Your galaxy is a part of a group What is the name of the group and the two galaxies in it?
The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".
Is a local group a group of galaxies?
Yes. Our local group of galaxies is made up of 3 larger galaxies (milky-way, Andromeda and M33) and several smaller or dwarf galaxies.
How do you use Local Group in a sentence?
We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.
A what is agroup of galaxies?
A group of galaxies is called a cluster.
What is the name for a group of stars bound together by gravity?
Our local group of galaxies is bound by gravity, although the large and small magellanic clouds nearby are moving fast enough they are probably just passing through. Our entire local group is also moving towards another big group of galaxies known as "the Great Attractor," which itself is bound by gravity. There are numerous clusters of galaxies bound by gravity throughout the hundred billion galaxies in our universe.
The local group contains mainly spiral galaxies?
No. It has only 3 big spiral galaxies, but dozens of dwarf galaxies.
Does red shift have anything to do with irregular galaxies?
NoRed shift is the Doppler effect as it applies to the light from receding galaxies and stars.As the name suggests, "irregular" galaxies have no specific form, and so the group contains a very diverse selection of objects.
What group of galaxies is the earth in?
A small cluster called the 'local group'
What group of galaxies is earth?
the milky way
What are group of galaxies called?
binary systems
What are the other galaxies accept Milky Way?
The observable Universe has at least a hundred billion galaxies. The galaxies closest to us are part of the so-called "Local Group" (that is, the group that includes our galaxy); this Local Group includes our own galaxy (i.e., the Milky Way), the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 50 dwarf galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. Then, of course, there are hundreds or thousands of galaxies "near-by" as distances between galaxies go, but outside of our Local Group.
