What else can I help you with?
How long does it take for betelgeuse to orbit its galaxy?
Since Betelgeuse is a nearby star (compared to the size of the galaxy, that is), you can assume that it takes about the same time as our Solar System to orbit the galaxy - approximately 240 million years.
What galaxy is spica in?
All the individual stars you can see in the night sky with your eyes are members of the Milky Way galaxy, the same one our sun is in. And they're all relatively nearby members too.
Why are magellanic clouds described as nearby?
The Mellaganic Clouds are two dwarf galaxies, satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way. They are "nearby" only to the extent that they are the closest galaxies to our own. Ferdinand Magellan, the leader of the first European voyage to circumnavigate the Earth, named them because they appeared to be permanent clouds in the southern sky. The Clouds aren't visible from Europe or North America.
Which galaxy is home to Earth and what type of galaxy is it?
The milky way, and its a barred spiral galaxy.
How can you tell the Andromeda galaxy is getting closer?
The Andromeda Galaxy is getting closer to the Milky Way, and this is primarily observed through redshift measurements. Unlike most galaxies, which are moving away from us due to the expansion of the universe, Andromeda shows a blueshift, indicating it is approaching. Additionally, astronomers have tracked its velocity and trajectory, confirming that it is on a collision course with our galaxy, expected to occur in about 4.5 billion years. Observations of its gravitational effects and interactions with nearby galaxies further support this conclusion.
What is a nearby galaxy?
the closest galaxy to us is Andromeda.
What is a nearby galaxy to the milky way?
Two nearby galaxies are Andromeda galaxy and Triangulum galaxy. Andromeda galaxy is about 2.56 million light years away from us. Triangulum galaxy is about 3 million light years away from us.
What is the nearby galaxy called?
ambedextice .....DEREK
Is Sirius A a nearby galaxy?
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky of earth not a galaxy
Is a young galaxy an irregular galaxy?
That is unrelated to age. An irregular galaxy is one that has been distored by the gravity of nearby galaxies.
What is the effects of powerful jet to the nearby galaxy?
A powerful jet emitted by a black hole can have significant effects on a nearby galaxy. It can heat up the gas in the galaxy, disrupt star formation, trigger the formation of new stars, and even expel gas from the galaxy, influencing its evolution and morphology.
What is the new massive star?
It is called R136a1. It is in a star cluster in a nearby galaxy.
What is the most accurate method for determining the distance to a nearby galaxy?
The most accurate method for determining the distance to a nearby galaxy is through the use of parallax measurements, which involve observing the slight shift in position of the galaxy against background stars as the Earth orbits the Sun. This method allows for precise calculations of the galaxy's distance based on trigonometry.
What is the name of a nearby galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud are two nearby dwarf galaxies. Two larger galaxies that are still part of our local group are the Andromeda Galaxy (a.k.a. M31), and the Triangulum Galaxy. All of the above-named galaxies can be seen with the naked eye.
What planet is a nearby galaxy?
A galaxy is a cluster of stars and gasses and a planet is something that goes around a star. Can you see why this might not make sense?
How long does it take for betelgeuse to orbit its galaxy?
Since Betelgeuse is a nearby star (compared to the size of the galaxy, that is), you can assume that it takes about the same time as our Solar System to orbit the galaxy - approximately 240 million years.
How far from earth is the large magellanic cloud galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby galaxy, once thought to be a satellite of our own. At a distance of slightly less than 50 kiloparsecs (≈157,000 light years), it is the third closest galaxy to our Milky Way Galaxy.
