Stars born in a galaxy?
You will need to expand on that question. If you mean how many stars are born in a galaxy then it would be inaccurate for me to give an answer because a galaxy is a vast, heavy grouping of stars, supported by gravity. There is no minimum or maximum amount of stars allowed and so a galaxy could vary quite vastly in the number of stars it contains.
What is a star system?
A large number of stars with a perceptible structure such as a galaxy would be called a star system.

Would you expect stars in the halo of the galaxy to have planets?
No
What is galaxy star?
I guess that would refer to a star that is part of a galaxy. That would apply to the vast majority of stars.
Can a galaxy die?
yes a galaxy can dieone way a galaxy can die if another galaxy collides with a smaller galaxy even though the result is a larger galaxy the smaller galaxy died because it no longer exzitesa galaxy is a huge cluster of stars. even though in a Large Galaxy such as a spiral with enough gas to form new stars, when a star dies out, the energy collides with the gas to form new stars.But in a galaxy that is small and dim such as eliptical galaxies with dim low solar mass stars it would not have enough energy to form a new stars because the gas is far apart and not enough to form new stars. so if all of the stars die out there would be no new stars get formed all that would be left are dense cores called white dwarfs,black holes and neutron stars and some dust. there would almost be no light generated by the galaxy.but not all galaxies die out(FOUND OUT FROM AN ASTROMNER)
How many years would it take to count all the stars in the Star Wars galaxy since there are 400 billion of them?
Counting one star per second, it would take approximately 12,680 years to count all 400 billion stars in the Star Wars galaxy.
How do use galaxy in a sentence?
The word galaxy is a noun used to describe a cluster of billions of stars. One way to use the word in a sentence would be to say, "The Milky Way is the galaxy of stars that we live in."
How do scientist estimate how many stars are in a galaxy?
Many estimates in astronomy have some uncertainty to them, and the estimate of the number of stars in our galaxy is no exception. Even the world's largest telescopes can't count the stars. They see only the brightest and nearest stars - and stars not obscured by dust. To estimate the number of the Milky Way's stars, astronomers first assume there's nothing special about our region of space. They determine the number of different types stars in this region - then extend this knowledge to the galaxy as a whole. The most popular current models suggest the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across. The estimate for the number of stars is about 100 billion stars - plus or minus 50 billion.
If you lived in an elliptical galaxy how would the nighttime sky look different?
Yes it would. Our galaxy is a spiral and fairly flat. When we look around our own galaxy, some parts of the sky are only thinly populated with stars but there is a line of dense stars called the milky way which is looking through the flat disk of our galaxy. An eliptical galaxy is different. It is not a flat disk but more like a ball or an egg. If we lived near the centre, no matter which way we looked, the number of stars would be about the same. If we lived on the edge of the galaxy, one side of the night sky would be filled with stars and the other side would have very few to almost none.
How long would it take to count all the stars in the universe?
There are a lot of stars in the universe. Our Galaxy alone is thought to contain 400 billion stars. If you can count 2 stars a second continuously without sleep it would take 200 billion seconds or 6337 years 225 days 13 hours 33 minutes and 20 seconds.Add to that the fact that there is thought to be about 400 billion galaxies in our universe. Our Galaxy is large by galaxy standards but let us assume that the average number of stars in any given galaxy is 100 billion. So at 2 a second it would take 633.7 trillion years or to put it into perspective 46,154.4 times longer than the universe has thought to existed.
What is a Galaxy bugle?
A bulge is a tight group of stars found at the center of most spiral galaxies. The bright spot an the center of the galaxy in the picture above is the bulge. If this galaxy were seen from the side the collection of stars would create a bulge (spheroid) expanding out from the otherwise rather flat galaxy.
