well, that's a hard question to answer, because since the universe is infinite that means that there is an infinite amount of matter, which results in an infinite number of galaxy, so, the answer would be: everywhere and nowhere, distance infinite, you can't measure that. sorry. But an interesting question.
A central dominant galaxy is typically the largest and most massive galaxy at the center of a galaxy cluster. It is surrounded by smaller satellite galaxies and can influence the dynamics and evolution of the entire cluster through its strong gravitational pull. These galaxies often exhibit unique properties compared to other galaxies in the 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.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a member of the Local Group, which is a small cluster of galaxies that includes our Milky Way galaxy and a few dozen other smaller galaxies. The Local Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is a larger structure of galaxies in the universe.
A collection of galactic groups form a cluster of galaxies. A supercluster is the largest known structure. Galaxies can exist outside of a group or cluster, but the estimated amount is only about 5%. However, there is a possibility that these galaxies may have interacted or merged with other galaxies in the past,
a galaxy cluster is started but stars pass by each other but they dont go boom
Yes, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group. Within the Local Group, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are the two largest galaxies and they are actually moving towards each other. It is believed that the Local Group is also moving towards the Virgo Cluster, a larger cluster of galaxies. So, in a sense, our galaxy is moving within the universe, but it is not orbiting around a single object like a planet orbits a star.
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.
Andromeda Galaxy - M31 Our Galaxy cluster is called "The local group".
No, the growth of the universe is caused by the galaxies moving away from each other, with no relation to their size.
Universe is describing the galaxies. There are different galaxies and our galaxy is called Milky Way Galaxy. There are some other galaxies miles away from ours.
Ah, the Milky Way is not actually located in the Virgo Cluster. It's in a group of galaxies called the Local Group, along with our neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. But don't you worry, every galaxy in the universe is unique and special in its own way, just like you. So keep looking up at the stars with wonder in your heart, my friend.
No, the Milky Way does not contain "other" galaxies. The Milky Way is a galaxy unto itself. It has two small, irregular "sattelite" galaxies associated with it called the Large Magellanic and Small Magellanic Clouds, but they are not visible from the Northern Hemisphere in this epoch. The next nearest galaxy is Andromeda, which is about 2.5 million light years away. It is estimated that their are 100 billion galaxies in the known universe.
