What lies near the center of the milky way?
There is a far greater concentration of stars, than what we have here in our neighborhood. One interesting feature in the center of the Milky Way is a huge black hole, whose mass is currently estimated at 4 million times the mass of our Sun.There is a far greater concentration of stars, than what we have here in our neighborhood.

How do scientists measure the weights of the planets?
Scientists measure the weigts of planets by their gravitational force or by its gravity.
Size of Andromeda galaxy?
Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.
What is the largest galaxy in the local Milky Way?
The ONLY galaxy in the "local milky way" is the Milky Way itself. If you're asking what the largest galaxy in the local group is, the Andromeda Galaxy is the largest by size but the Milky Way may be slightly larger by mass. It's definitely one of those two by any reasonable criterion, though.
How is the Andromeda galaxy different from the Milky Way?
The Andromeda galaxy is approximately the same mass as the Milky Way, or perhaps a bit larger. We believe that Andromeda is similar in shape and structure to the Milky Way, although as different from each other as two large oak trees are from each other. We can see the Andromeda galaxy, but we don't know exactly how far away it is. We're here in the Milky Way, but we can't see the other side of it, or know precisely how large it is. In fact, scientists have just within the last month (November, 2010) TRIPLED the estimated number of stars in the Milky Way, because of the difficulty of detecting small dark brown dwarf stars. And our new guess probably isn't appreciably more accurate than the old one.
About how much of the mass of the Milky Way has yet to be discovered by scientists?
70%
Does the sun make up 99 percent of the milky way?
The Sun makes up 99.8% the mass of the Solar System, not the Milky Way.
What is the Object in space contains 99.9 percent of the mass of the milky way?
It's not certain but one possibility is the super massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way which is believed to contain as much mass as billions of Suns.
Is the milky way galaxy the biggest galaxy discovered?
No. Although the Milky Way is a relatively large galaxy it is nowhere near the largest known. Galaxies dozens of times the size and hundreds of times the mass of the Milky Way have been observed.
What do scientists think is in center of the Milky Way?
The very center is believed to contain a very powerful black hole.
What drugs became mass produced in the U.S.?
In 1941 scientists discovered how to mass-produce penicillin mold by deep fermentation (as opposed to the slower surface culture).
What does the Milky Way weigh?
What would you weigh it on? - It is more appropriate to talk about the Milky Way's mass. According to the Wikipedia, this mass is 5.8 x 1011 times the mass of our Sun.What would you weigh it on? - It is more appropriate to talk about the Milky Way's mass.

Have scientists discovered a planet comparable to earth?
Comparable, in what sense? - Scientists have discovered over a thousand planets outside our Solar System; most of these are much larger than Earth (since those are easier to discover), but several have been found that have a mass comoparable to Earth.
Is mass percent the same as percent by mass?
They are synonyms.
Is the black hole smaller than the milky wave?
Yes. If you mean Sagittarius A*, its mass, and even more so its diameter, is only a tiny fraction of the mass, or diameter, of the Milky Way.
How is Andromeda and the Milky Way the same?
They are pretty similiar mass, Milky Way maybe has more mass, but the Milky Way indeed beats it in size. Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter. Andromeda is 220,000 ly, Andromeda and the Milky Way are like twins.
Who discovered penicillin from Australia?
Sir Andrew Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 while doing experiments in St Mary's Hospital in London. the Australian Howard Florey lead a team of scientists who discovered a way of mass producing penicillin which helped turn it into a viable treatment.
