Oh, that's a wonderful question! You know, the Milky Way actually has quite a few satellite galaxies, all gathered around like dear friends in a cozy painting. Scientists estimate there are about 50 or so different satellite galaxies gracefully dancing around our beautiful Milky Way galaxy. Can you picture it now, right there in your mind's eye?

Do stars orbit the sun?

No, stars do not orbit the Sun. Stars are distant celestial bodies that have their own gravitational pull and are typically found in galaxies like the Milky Way. The Sun is just one star in the Milky Way galaxy, and it has its own set of planets and other objects orbiting around it.


What is after the milky way?

After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.


What type of galaxy is the Small magellanic cloud?

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. It and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are visible from the southern hemisphere, and were named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, whose crew sailing around the world were the first Europeans to see them.


Which satellite orbit the earth in a day?

There are many satellites that orbit the earth in a day or less. All of them are man made. The only real satellite that orbits the earth is the moon. That takes 28 days to complete a single orbit.


Which of these galaxies is home for the earth?

The earth is a tiny pebble in orbit around a medium-size star, and the star is one of200 to 400 billion stars, all in the Milky Way galaxy.Then there are billions of other galaxies that we can see from here, and we don't knowhow many more that are so too far away to be detected with even the largest of today'stelescopes.

How many moons does the Milky Way Galaxy have?

There are lots of spiral galaxies, so you shouldn't speak about the spiral galaxy as if there were only one, and while there are lots of moons inside galaxies, you may be thinking of galaxies that have other galaxies which orbit them; our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds as satellite galaxies, which perhaps is what you had in mind. A satellite galaxy is not a moon, however.

No. There are many much larger galaxies in the Universe than the Milky Way.


How many meters across would your field of view need to be to see the entire Milky Way and its two satellite galaxies?

To see the entire Milky Way galaxy and its two satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, your field of view would need to be at least 100,000 light-years across. This distance is much larger than what is measurable in meters, as the Milky Way is estimated to be about 100,000-120,000 light-years in diameter.
