Can we see stars from other galaxies in the night sky?
Well, imagine our universe as a beautiful painting filled with many swirling galaxies, each one teeming with stars. When we look up at the night sky, we are seeing stars from our own Milky Way galaxy, as they twinkle and shimmer like tiny jewels. Stars from other galaxies are too far away to be seen individually with our bare eyes, but together they create a mesmerizing glow that decorates our night sky in a lovely cosmic dance.
How many stars are in the night sky?
There are an estimated 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone, and billions of galaxies in the universe. This means that there are more stars in the night sky than we can see with the naked eye.
Can we see stars in other galaxies from Earth?
Look at those beautiful galaxies! Whilst we can make out individual stars in the galaxies closest to us, trying to see individual stars in galaxies billions of light-ages away would be quite a challenge. But maybe one day, someone will find a way to see the beauty of those stars up-close! Love, Joy, and Happy Painting!
Is Orion an elliptical galaxy?
No, Orion is not an elliptical galaxy. Orion is actually a constellation in the night sky, known for its prominent stars like Betelgeuse and Rigel. Elliptical galaxies are large, rounded, and featureless galaxies that are different from individual stars or constellations.
Why are we able to see the moon and the other planets?
We are able to see the Moon, other Planets and even the Sun. The Sun make this possible through its light, even at night. With the help of a powerful telescope we are able to see distant galaxies, distant stars that don't exist anymore, we are seeing only its light which is still travelling.
Can we see stars outside of our galaxy in the night sky?
Yes, we can see stars outside of our galaxy in the night sky. These stars are part of other galaxies that are visible to us from Earth.
Are most of the stars you see at night actually galaxies?
No, most stars you see are stars within our own galaxy, the Milky Way
Is there 100 stars?
There are billions of stars. On a clear night, in good viewing conditions, you can see thousands, but there are many more than that in space. All the ones we see are just in our galaxy and there are billions of other galaxies.
Is the sun the only star in space?
No. There are billions of other stars in space. Our sun is the only star in our solar system, though. All the stars we see at night are from other galaxies. There are a lot of other stars way bigger than our sun like Arcturus.

The sea of stars glows in the night sky due to the light emitted by distant stars and galaxies. This light travels through space and reaches our eyes, creating the beautiful spectacle we see in the night sky.
What are galaxies and stars?

What planets float in other galaxies?
For the most part, we can't see individual stars in other galaxies (with one notable exception), so obviously detecting planets is out of the question. (The exception is supernovae, stars that are in the process of exploding.)
What you can see that is outside your solar system?
Stars, star clusters, distant galaxies, galaxy clusters, nebulae, ...
Are all the stars you see in the Milky Way galaxy?

What are the planets in the galaxy M51?
