this is a hard question
The Milky Way is out nearest Galaxy. It is not a constellation.
milky way
All named stars are within the Milky Way galaxy. In fact all individual stars are within the Milky Way galaxy.
Milky Way and Pinwheel (Messier 101, M101) are two known galaxies. The galaxy that includes the Solar System is the Milky way.
Although Orion is really close to the Milky Way, Orion isn't in the Milky Way. Just for the same of clarity: if you mean the Milky Way galaxy as opposed to "that band of diffuse light in the sky," every star bright enough for you to see individually is in the Milky Way galaxy.
They are not. The Milky Way is a galaxy, the constellation Centaurus is just a man made visual representation of something, and bears no relation to a physical entity.
In essentially every possible way. Constellations are specifically defined areas of sky; Centaurus is one such, as seen from the planet Earth. The Milky Way is a galaxy. The two are, at best, extremely loosely related.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains our solar system, while Centaurus is a constellation in the southern sky. The Milky Way is a vast collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter, while Centaurus is a grouping of stars in the night sky as seen from Earth. The Milky Way is a physical entity in space, while Centaurus is a visual grouping of stars from our perspective on Earth.
we are in the milky way Galaxy! the Centaurus arm is just a small part of the milky way.
Thay are not.
they are different because one is a large collection of stars orbiting a super massive black hole
galaxy well... the milky way itself is a constellation but we live in what we call the milky way galaxy.,
The Milky Way is the plane of our galaxy NOT a constellation. We can see it because we are part of it.
There is no larger rotational group for galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, as part of the Local Group, are moving generally in one direction, toward an unidentified central mass in the direction of the constellation Centaurus. (This may be a gravitational effect of the Shapley Supercluster.)
The constellation norma is a L shaped constellation in the sky. It runs throught the milky way The constellation norma is a L shaped constellation in the sky. It runs throught the milky way
The milky way is not a constellation
No, the Milky Way is a galaxy. It's the one we live in.
