What else can I help you with?
Why do galaxies look faint to people on earth?
because they're hundreds of thousands of light years away from earth
Can faint background galaxies be mistaken for stars?
Yes. Far-away galaxies can be mistaken for stars and occasionally are. This is due to the galaxies being millions upon millions of light years (the distance light can travel in a year) away from earth.
Is a faint galaxy a galaxy not shining brightly or clearly?
A faint galaxy appears as not shining, and look faint from the earth due to distance.
Are some faint background galaxies masked out due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy?
Yes. Some faint background galaxies are masked out due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy.
What is the Doppler shift of galaxies?
It shows how galaxies are moving in relation to Earth.
How many galaxies in the Earth?
None.
How do you see galaxies from earth?
use a teloscope, or look overhead at the milky way. You are part of the galaxy use a teloscope, or look overhead at the milky way. You are part of the galaxy
How would other galaxies appear to move relative to Earth if the universe were shrinking?
If the Universe was shrinking the galaxies would appear to be moving towards the Earth, and look more blue than they should. This is the opposite to the universe expanding where galaxies would appear to be moving away from the Earth, which we know due to "red shift". Andromeda would be the exception since it's directly moving towards the Milky Way.
Do Jupiter and earth have rings?
Earth doesn't have rings. Look up the pictures of Earth from space. Jupiter does have rings but they're extremely faint. They're made of dust while Saturn's rings are made of rock and ice. The rings are so faint they weren't known until 1979, when the Voyager I probe flew past Jupiter.
Which stars are actually a galaxy?
No stars are actually a galaxy. All stars are stars and all galaxies are galaxies. Stars are found in galaxies. Some galaxies look like tiny dots in our night sky, so might look like a star, but they are not stars; they are galaxies.
What group of galaxies is earth?
the milky way
Do galaxies all look the same?
No.
