What else can I help you with?
What if a new planet was discovered in another galaxy and what would be the least likely way to study it?
To go to it. ;)
What causes the light from far away galaxies to bend in this matter?
The bending of light from distant galaxies is primarily caused by gravitational lensing, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. When light from a distant galaxy passes near a massive object, such as another galaxy or a cluster of galaxies, the gravitational field of that object warps the space around it, causing the light to follow a curved path. This bending can magnify and distort the appearance of the distant galaxy, allowing astronomers to study objects that would otherwise be too faint or obscured.
Is a astronomer a scientist who studies ants?
No, a Biology major would study bugs...however, astronomers study outer space. (Unless the "powers that be" have changed it or added something.
How long would it take to travel to another galaxy at the speed of light?
Traveling to another galaxy at the speed of light would take an incredibly long time. The closest galaxy to us, the Andromeda galaxy, is about 2.5 million light-years away. This means it would take 2.5 million years to reach Andromeda at the speed of light.
Ten years ago astronomers found a galaxy that you know is 8 billuon light years away If the universe were now 15 billion yrs old when would the galaxy have emitted the light you observed?
8 billion years ago.
Can people who aren't astronomers name a galaxy?
Yes. A small number of galaxies have been named after individual people. Usually, the named individual was the person who discovered the object, or brought attention to it, or who first studied it scientifically. Normally they would be astronomers, or at least hobbyists.
What subjects other than astronomy would astronomers have to study in order to discover black holes?
Astronomers studying black holes would typically need to study physics, particularly in the areas of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics, to understand the nature and behavior of black holes. They may also need to study astrophysics, cosmology, and computational modeling to analyze observational data and simulate black hole interactions with their surroundings.
What is the name is people who studies the stars?
People who study stars are called astronomers. They observe and analyze celestial objects and phenomena, including stars, planets, galaxies, and more, to better understand the universe.
Can you send astronauts to another galaxy?
You could send them in the right direction but they would never make it. Even if they traveled at the speed of light, it would take 2.2 million years to get to the nearest galaxy - The Andromeda Galaxy
Would it be impossible for us to discover another galaxy?
It is possible to discover new galaxies.
Is a astronomer is a scientist who studies ants?
No, a biology major would study bugs...however, astronomers study outer space. (Unless the "powers that be" have changed it or added something.
How would you describe the size of a star?
Each star is a sun for another galaxy, so i would say it was absolutley massive!
