How did Harlow Shapley determine where the center of the galaxy lies?
Harlow Shapley determined the center of the galaxy by studying the distribution and motion of globular clusters. By observing the positions and velocities of these clusters, he discovered that they were not evenly distributed in the sky but rather congregated towards a point in the constellation Sagittarius, indicating the center of the galaxy.
Approximately how old is the milky way galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy is estimated to be about 13.6 billion years old. This estimate is based on the age of the oldest stars in the galaxy and the cosmic timeline of the universe itself, which is approximately 13.8 billion years old. As the Milky Way formed shortly after the Big Bang, its age reflects its long history of evolution and development.
Is 42 the real meaning of the universe and everything in it?
It is an answer created by Douglas Adams in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was supposedly the answer to 'Life, the Universe and Everything.' How accurate it is remains to be determined.
What does the size of a galaxy mean?
The size of a galaxy refers to its physical dimensions, typically measured in terms of its diameter or radius. Larger galaxies can contain billions to trillions of stars, while smaller galaxies may have fewer stars. Galaxy size can also provide clues about its age, structure, and evolutionary history.
How big is the Andromeda Galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy or M31 has been estimated to be 220,000 light years across. Our Galaxy, The Milky Way, is about 100,000 light years across.See link for more information.The latest estimates for the diameter is about 43,000 ly across.This is based on a 3.18 degree angle in the sky and a distance of 2.54 Mly.A big caveat here that this is only the visible part of the galaxy. Since a galaxy must be made up of a substantial amount of dark matter the true size of the galaxy cant be determined at the moment.
Is the color of a star determined by its location in the galaxy?
No. The color is determined by the star's temperature, not location.
Suppose we look at two distant galaxies Galaxy 1 is twice as far away as Galaxy 2. In that case . Galaxy 2 must be twice as old as Galaxy 1 We are seeing Galaxy 1 as it looked at a later time in the h?
The age of a galaxy is not directly determined by its distance from us. While we observe distant galaxies as they were in the past due to the finite speed of light, this does not imply that Galaxy 2 is twice as old as Galaxy 1 simply because it is closer. The age of a galaxy depends on its formation history and evolutionary processes, which are independent of its distance. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Galaxy 2 is twice as old as Galaxy 1 based solely on their distances.
Who determined the shape of galaxy?
God. He chose a nice shape, no?
Is a young galaxy an irregular galaxy?
That is unrelated to age. An irregular galaxy is one that has been distored by the gravity of nearby galaxies.
What is the age of the sombrero galaxy?
sombrero galaxy is 10 to 13 billion years old
