Oh, the Milky Way is like a masterpiece painting shining beautifully across the night sky. Our incredible eyes, like a good brush, can see this celestial wonder on clear nights far away from city lights. It's a reminder of the vast and stunning beauty that surrounds us, just waiting to be appreciated.
What else can I help you with?
Is Betelgeuse in the Milky Way galaxy?
Yes it is, as all stars that you can see with the naked eye are in the Milky Way galaxy.
Can you see your own galaxy in the night sky?
No you would see an entirely different vista. Most of the stars you can see from earth would not be visible to the naked eye from the galactic core, and they would also be lost in a blaze of glory of the core suns. From within a planetary atmosphere you probably would not be able to see stars even at night, due to the ambient light. The core suns are packed about a quarter of a light year apart.
What percentage of stars in the sky are not in the milky way?
That depends on how you define the "Milky Way". Technically, the "Milky Way" refers to a faint band of light that crosses the night sky. This band is how we see the star-dense disk of our galaxy from our vantage point inside that disk. Our galaxy was named for this band of light, and called the "Milky Way Galaxy". Note that the "Milky Way" and the "Milky Way Galaxy" refer to two different things. The answer also depends on what you mean by "stars in the sky". Do you mean the stars that can be seen from Earth? And if so, with the naked eye, or with a telecope? How powerful a telescope? Or do you mean every star that is "out there", i.e., every star in the universe, whether we can see it or not? I could sit here all day researching and entering answers to all the different ways this question could be interpreted. But I'm not going to waste that kind of time until you tell me what you are talking about. However, there is one way of interpreting this question that I already know the answer to, and I will give you that answer here. If the "Milky Way" means the galaxy, and if "stars in the sky" means stars visible, with the naked eye, from Earth's surface, then the answer is zero. There are no stars outside of our galaxy that are visible from here on Earth. There are a few "objects" outside our galaxy that are visible with the naked eye. But these objects are, for the most part, galaxies themselves, not individual stars. They are so far away that their immense masses appear to us as tiny pinpoints of light, indistinguishable from the true stars we can see. In fact, they are dimmer than most of the stars we can see. In all of the universe, I believe there is not a single individual star outside of our galaxy that is bright enough to be seen from Earth with the naked eye. But I may be wrong on that. There MAY be a couple of stars in one of the Magellanic Clouds that can be seen. But even if that is the case, the answer to the question is still, essentially, zero.
Who has seen beyond Earth's galaxy?
Anyone can see beyond our galaxy - even with the naked eye. There are three galaxies that can be seen with the naked eye: M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy), the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud. The latter two can't be seen from the northern hemisphere, though.
How many galaxies are visible to the naked eye?
Oh, what a delightful question! When you look up at the night sky, especially in a dark location away from city lights, you can see up to about 2,500 individual stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. Isn't it marvelous to think we are all part of this vast and beautiful universe?
Is Betelgeuse in the Milky Way galaxy?
Yes it is, as all stars that you can see with the naked eye are in the Milky Way galaxy.
Can you see the Milky Way with your eyes in the night sky?
Yes, the Milky Way can be seen with the naked eye in areas with low light pollution.
The earth is part of galaxy called the milky way?
Yes, the Earth is in the Milky Way. Every star you can see in the sky at night is also in the Milky Way. With the naked eye, you cannot see any stars that are not in the Milky Way. The next nearest galaxy is Andromeda and it is just about visible with the naked eye, looking like a hazy dust in the sky, but you would not see any stars in it. It is the furthest thing away that we can see with the naked eye. It is hard to be accurate but it is about 2,500,000 light years away. That is about 14,674,284,000,000,000,000 miles away. To see stars in it, you'd need a very powerful telescope.
How did people discovered the Milky Way not who?
There isn't much to "discover" - if you look up at night, you can see it with the naked eye.
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.
Does Sagittarius have a galaxy and what is it?
Every star we see in the sky is part of our own Milky Way galaxy. You cannot see any stars in other galaxies with the naked eye.
Is their a name to a star in the milky way?
All the stars we see with the unaided eye are part of the Milky Way. Many of the brighter ones have names.All the stars we see with the unaided eye are part of the Milky Way.

Can you see stars that are not from the milky way?
They can be seen in telescopes. At least three galaxies can be seen with the naked eye, but individual stars are normally too faint to be seen. However, in the case of a supernova explosion in a nearby galaxy, it could be seen with the naked eye, too.
Can you actually see the Milky Way from Earth?
Yes, the Milky Way can be seen from Earth, but it depends on factors like light pollution and weather conditions. In areas with low light pollution and clear skies, the Milky Way can be visible to the naked eye as a faint band of light stretching across the night sky.
How many constellation are near the milky way galaxy?
All of them. Any star you can see with the naked eye is within the Milky Way Galaxy.
What is the best way to view the Milky Way galaxy with the naked eye?
The best way to view the Milky Way galaxy with the naked eye is to find a location with minimal light pollution, such as a remote area away from city lights. Look for a clear, dark sky on a moonless night, preferably during the summer months when the Milky Way is most visible. Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for about 20-30 minutes, and then look towards the center of the galaxy, which is usually in the southern part of the sky. You should be able to see the Milky Way as a faint band of light stretching across the sky.
How many galaxies are near us?
Of the naked eye galaxies - i.e. those visible with the naked eye. There are seven. * Milky Way - Ours * Andromeda * Large Magellanic Cloud - Southern Hemisphere * Small Magellanic Cloud - Southern Hemisphere * Omega Centauri - Cannibalised by the Milky Way * Triangulum Galaxy - Very Faint * Bode's Galaxy - Very Faint See link for more details
