What else can I help you with?
How do astronomers observe the spiral of the milky way?
by eyes
What do astronomers called your galaxy?
The Milky Way Galaxy.
What do the astrologers call our galaxy?
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
How do you think the milky way got its name?
The Milky Way was named when the early astronomers looked up at the night sky and saw a milky band of dim stars going across the sky.
Do scientists still explore the Milky Way Galaxy and find new things?
Most of the observation astronomers make are inside our Galaxy. Of course we still find new things. The Milky Way is a very complex and diverse collection of celestial objects. We still have much to learn!
How did astrologists determine where earth is located in the milky way?
They don't. That's the job of astronomers.
Is the Milky Way the Largest of all Galaxies?
No one knows the answer to that because astronomers haven't been able to explore any other galaxies besides the Milky Way.
Why do astronomers study the Andromeda galaxy?
Astronomers study the Andromeda galaxy to learn more about how galaxies form and evolve, to understand the structure and composition of other galaxies beyond our own Milky Way, and to potentially gain insights into the future fate of our own galaxy.
What is at the center of milky way?
Astronomers suspect that a super massive black hole is at the center of the Milky Way. Over a period of several years, astronomers have observed that stars near the center of the Milky Way are orbiting an object with massive gravitation, and the object emits no light. What can it be? A black hole is the best answer, and by the way the stars move, it must a super massive one.
Who discovered that the milky way was a disk of stars?
The realization that the Milky Way is a disk of stars was largely attributed to the work of astronomers in the 18th century, particularly Immanuel Kant. He proposed that the Milky Way was a vast collection of stars, which later observations by astronomers like William Herschel in the late 1700s provided further evidence for. Herschel's star counts and mapping of the Milky Way's structure helped reinforce the understanding of its disk-like shape.
How many years does the Sun take to orbit the center of the milky way?
Astronomers have calculated that it takes the Sun 226 million years to completely orbit around the center of the Milky Way.
What did many astronomers about galaxies prior to the 1920's?
The Milky Way, included every object in space
