What other large galaxy is part of your little cluster?
Other than what?
Is the Andromeda galaxy a cluster?
No, it is a galaxy. A stellar cluster is an object that is much smaller than a galaxy, and contains a few thousand stars, up to about a million or so. A galaxy cluster, on the other hand, is a group of galaxies, not a single galaxy.
Is Andromeda galaxy bigger than a galaxy cluster?
A galaxy cluster consists of several galaxy groups, each of which in turn contains several galaxies. So no; a galaxy cluster is MUCH bigger than any individual galaxy.
Which galaxy can contain no more than a few thousand stars?
The smallest galaxy - a dwarf galaxy - will contain stars upwards of 30 billion stars. You are thinking of an open cluster, which as the name suggests, is a cluster of stars, not a galaxy. An open cluster is a group of up to a few thousand stars.
Is the sloan great wall bigger than a galaxy cluster?
Yes. From Wikipedia: "...as of 2010, is the largest known structure in the Universe. ... The wall measures 1.37 billion light years (1.30×1025 m) in length..." This is much more than a galaxy cluster.
What is bigger than a galaxy cluster?
The visible universe. I'm a bit of a space buff and to my knowledge there aren't any celestial structures that are larger than a galaxy cluster. The only one I've come upon is the visible universe itself. I could be wrong about that but then again, I could be right. That tends to be how celestial questions like that one go. Hope this helps. Answer 2: Galaxy clusters are clusters of galaxies and therefore larger than individual galaxies. Superclusters are clusters of galaxy clusters and so are larger then galaxy clusters. Filaments are collections of superclusters and are the largest known structures in the universe.
What is a cluster of tightly packed of older stars called?
A cluster of tightly packed older stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters can contain thousands to millions of stars, and are usually found in the outer regions of galaxies.
Is the solar system larger than a cluster of galaxies?
No, because our solar system is in the Milky Way GALAXY
What is the name of a group of 1000 stars?
Constellation or "asterism". The difference is that "constellations" are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, while an "asterism" is any other pattern or grouping of stars.
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 is the difference between a galaxy cluster and a galaxy super cluster?
A globular cluster contains hundreds of thousands of starsAn open cluster contain less than a few hundred stars.A galaxy contains billions of stars.
Is local group larger than galaxy?
No, a galaxy is larger than a local group. A local group typically contains a small number of galaxies, while a galaxy is a massive collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity. Examples of local groups include the Local Group which contains the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies.
