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!
What else can I help you with?
Are the stars you see at night from other galaxies?
No. All the stars you see at night are in our galaxy. Stars in other galaxies are much too far away to be seen without a powerful telescope.
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 are galaxies and constellations similar?
They are both spiral galaxies. However, The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy (SBbc), whereas the Whirlpool Galaxy is a spiral galaxy without the bar (SAbc). See related links for a pictorial representation of the two types.
What will you see in space?
When in space and looking out, the observer will see a lot of black. Light will come from stars and galaxies, and will be reflected from planets or other bodies around, but the rest of the "sky" will be black. Light will arrive at the observers position without being scattered by atmosphere. Dust and some gas can appear to glow when looked at through a telescope, but to the naked eye, it's really black out there.
What is the difference between a galaxy and constellations?
A constellation is a pattern of several stars that make a picture. A galaxy is a huge mass of billions of stars, dust and gas that is gravitationally bound, moving through the universe.A constellation is just a pattern of stars in the sky as seen from Earth. There are 88 designated constellations. It is a simple way of us mapping the sky. In reality the stars in those constellations have no real connection to each other. The can be vast distances from each other, but looking at them two-dimensionally they seem to form patterns that are easy for us to identify.A galaxy is a massive group of stars and other elements, such as gases and dust, that are part of one system. Think of our solar system, but on a much more massive scale. Having said that all the stars in a constellation are far from each other, the stars we see are all part of the one galaxy, the Milky Way. We are all bound by gravity. Our solar system and the many of the stars that we see are on the edge of the Milky Way. If you are in an area that is free from light pollution, on a clear night you can see a long dusty looking stream in the sky that is part of the more populated part of the Milky Way. We can see other galaxies, but they look just like dusty objects in the sky. There are billions of galaxies out there, some of which we can see with the naked eye or a telescope. The Andromeda galaxy is the most distant thing we can see with the naked eye, at about 2.5 million miles from us.
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.
Where are stars seen and located?
We see the stars in the sky, from our perspective of being here on the Earth. Stars are grouped into galaxies of billions of stars, and there are vast almost-empty spaces between the galaxies.
Are the stars you see at night from other galaxies?
No. All the stars you see at night are in our galaxy. Stars in other galaxies are much too far away to be seen without a powerful telescope.
What are galaxies and stars?
See related questions.
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?
Yes. The stars in other galaxies are far too distant to be seen with the naked eye.
What are the planets in the galaxy M51?
We can't even see individual STARS in other galaxies, much less PLANETS. We have no idea how many stars are there.
Do galaxies emit light and why?
Well, you can see them, right? - Galaxies contain millions or billions of stars; each of these stars emit light.
Why does the moon look larger than the planets?
Because it is much closer to Earth than any other planet.When looking at a clear night sky, you see stars, planets, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. The moon looks bigger than these becuase it's closer. The moon is roughly 217,000 miles from the Earth. Other planets in out solar system are millions of miles away, and other stars and galaxies are hundreds and thousands of lightyears away.
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
What can you see from outer space?
stars, planets, galaxies, darkness
