What else can I help you with?
Is the Milky Way inside Ursa Major?
No. Ursa Major and all stars visible from earth are in the Milky Way.
Do the constellations we know belong to the Milky Way Galaxy?
Yes. All stars visible from Earth are in the same relatively small portion of the Milky Way.
Is the earth in the Milky Way?
Yes, the Earth is a planet orbiting a star which we call the Sun. The Sun is just one of billions of stars orbiting the center of our galaxy which we call the Milky Way. The Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies that we know to exist in our visible universe.
What is the names of the milky way?
The Milky Way galaxy is the name of the galaxy in which Earth resides. It is a barred spiral galaxy with billions of stars, including our sun. The name "Milky Way" comes from the band of hazy light created by stars in the galactic plane visible in the night sky.
Dwarf planets in the milky way?
No one knows. Astronomers are scanning the visible stars of our own Milky Way galaxy for planets orbiting faraway stars, but such planets would have to be nearly the size of Jupiter to be detected at such distances
Can you see the Milky Way stars?
The Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy. We can see stars at night, so yes.
Which galaxy is arcturus in?
All named stars are within the Milky Way galaxy. In fact all individual stars are within the Milky Way galaxy.
What is our galexy called?
Our galaxy is called the Milky Way. It is a barred spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars, including our Sun, and is part of the Local Group of galaxies. The Milky Way is characterized by its distinctive band of light, which is composed of stars and other materials, visible from Earth on clear nights.
When is the milky way going to crash into earth?
The solar system (the planets, the earth and the sun) is a part of the milky way, and rotates with the other stars the milky way consists of. The milky way is therefore not going to collide with the earth.
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 is the constellation centaurus similar to the milky way?
The constellation Centaurus is not similar to the Milky Way galaxy. Centaurus is a constellation visible from Earth, consisting of stars that appear to form a pattern as seen from our perspective. The Milky Way, on the other hand, is a spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars, including our solar system. The Milky Way is much larger and more complex than the constellation Centaurus.
What galaxy is altair in?
Altair like all the visible stars are within our own Galaxy - the Milky Way.
