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.
A group of stars gas and dust held together by gravity is a?
A group of stars, dust and gases held together by gravity IS CALLED GALAXY
What is earth's supercluster?
Earth is in milkyway galaxy which is part of Virgo cluster and Virgo cluster is located in Virgo supercluster. Cluster = A group of galaxies. Supercluster = group of clusters.
Is the sun moving or is it static?
Nothing in our universe is static. The Sun moves in at least four ways. It rotates on it axis (spins) and it also moves in an orbit around the center of the galaxy (milky way). The galaxy, and thus the Sun, is moving through space within the cluster of galaxies it is a member of, and this cluster moves through space towards another larger cluster of galaxies.
What are the three types of galaxies and what are there and shape?
There are actually four broad classifications : spiral, elliptical, lenticular and irregular. Spiral galaxies look, basically, like our Milky Way Galaxy, though there are some variations. Ellipticals can look elongated like a football, or almost spherical. Lenticulars are "lens shaped" galaxies. The irregular category covers just about everything else and include galaxies like our neighbors, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds . (Classifications vary and there are some that have only three types.)
The Milky Way Galaxy and all its nearest neighbors are part of a cluster of over 50 galaxies called the .?
local group A+
What are the six levels of organization in the universe?
Our star, the sun Our suns nearest neighbors Our Galaxy-the Milky Way Our local group of galaxies Our super cluster of Galaxies The edge of the known universe
What is the name for a group of galaxies?
A group of galaxies is called a galaxy cluster or galaxy group.
When The Milky Way Galaxy and all its nearest neighbors are part of a cluster of over 50 galaxies called the .ng?
The cluster, which contains the Milky way and more than 50 other galaxies, is called the Local Cluster. The cluster has a diameter of 3.1 million parsecs (10 million light years). The Local Group is part of the much larger Virgo Supercluster.
Is a galaxy cluster bigger then a galaxy?
Yes, it's a cluster of galaxies, not just one.
Is Milky Way Galaxy cluster of galaxies?
No. It is a single galaxy.
Is a planet a cluster of galaxies?
No, a galaxy is a cluster of stars, some of which might have planets.
How many galaxies are there in a typical cluster of galaxies?
Galaxy clusters typically have anywhere from 50 to 1,000 galaxies.
What are the cluster of galaxies?
The clusters are the solar systems that orbit the 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.
What galaxy is considered nearest to our galaxy?
Not counting the Magellanic Clouds (which are minielliptical galaxies orbiting our galaxy), the Andromeda galaxy is the galaxy nearest to our galaxy.
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.
