The closest galaxy which can be seen by the "naked eye" (blushing) is the Andromeda Galaxy which is 2,400,000 light years from earth. We can't see other galaxies because of the extreme distance between Earth and the galaxies.

Most mass in the universe is not visible because it does not emit Electromagnetic waves. Simply put most mass in the universe does not emit visible light, X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light, or infrared.

"Its presence can be inferred by observing the effect of its gravity on visible objects, such as stars, or on light."

For the same reason that you can't see a black cat in a coal mine:

Dark matter does not generate light, and unless it reflects enough light to be seen (on Earth) it remains invisible.

too bright bcs too many stars. so hard to study each star individually

Why was it difficult for ancient astronomers to explain about the apparent retrograde motion?

If, as ancient astronomers thought, that our Earth was the center point of rotation for other planets, then it is difficult to explain why those planets would move in a direction opposite to their rotation. Ptolemy came up with a solution that worked, but it was a cumbersome one. Nicolae Copernicus was able to show that this retrograde motion could be explained easily if it were assumed that our Sun was the actual center of rotation of the planets.


What were astronomers able to photograph Mars' surface easily?

The reason astronomers were able to photograph the surface of Mars is due to probes, unmanned spacecrafts used for exploration in space.


What method do astronomers use to solve the problem of detecting things through pollution and lights?

Telescopic images taken in the infrared and x-ray parts of the spectrum have been a great help in this area, to name just two. As an example: The center of our Milky Way galaxy lies in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, but we cannot see it in normal light because of gasses and dust between our part of the galaxy and the center. But with infrared photography, the center of the galaxy is seen easily as an egg yolk-shaped "glow".


Binary stars can be used to calculate the of stars?

Double stars, also called binary stars, are valuable to astronomers because they are the only stars of which astronomers can easily calculate their mass. They are bound to each other by gravity and orbit about a common center. The time it takes for one star to orbit the other depends on the distance between the two stars and their masses.


How do you know what comets are made of?

Astronomers analyze the light reflected from comets with a machine, and can easily tell what major elements it is composed of.

The center of your Milky Way Galaxy can be observed most easily at which electromagnetic wavelength?

Trick question; the center of the Milky Way galaxy cannot be observed at all. Not only are there vast clouds of interstellar gas blocking the light, but we believe that the center of the galaxy - as at the centers of MANY galaxies - is occupied by a supermassive black hole.


Where you can use optical fiber?

optical fibres work on the principle of total internal reflection.that is a long concept but easily available.because of this T.I.R the light transmitted through the wires is very small.so it can travel a longer distance(not necessarily rectilinear).so it finda application in medical surgery to get a view of the organs by inserting optical fibres through the wind pipe.it is also used to carry light to those materials that cannot be placed inside a spectroscope directly.they are also used for decoration purpose.the lamps with glowing hairs are good examples.
