What else can I help you with?
What galaxy is Canopus from?
Yes. Every star that is visible to the naked eye is in the Milky Way galaxy. You need astonishingly powerful telescopes to distinguish even the largest and brightest stars in nearby galaxies.
Who discovered that when viewed through a telescope the Milky Way is resolved into thousands of individual stars?
Ancient astronomers, reaching back to the Greeks and Persians, theorized that the Milky Way might be composed of distant stars. (One such, the Arabian scientist Alhazen, proved using parallax measurements that the band had to be much further away than his contemporaries had previously believed.)But the official discovery that the Milky Way was composed of stars belongs to to Galileo Galilei, who first trained his telescope on that region of the sky in 1610.Building on this, in 1750 Thomas Wright was the first to propose that the Sun might be part of a much larger body of stars (what we now call a galaxy) and that the Milky Way could be the result of looking at all those other stars head-on.
What are X-ray and gamma ray telescopes used for?
X-ray and gamma ray telescopes are used to give us "alternate" views of objects in the universe. It is extremely helpful to see all of the different wavelengths of electromagnetic energies give off by objects to better understand what they are and how to classify them for further study. x-rays can also cause cancer whilst looking through them also a lamborghini can see more into the future than xray and gamma ray telescopes
How many Red Dwarf Stars are there in the Milky Way Galaxy that we know of in October of 2011?
The Milky Way has somewhere between 100 and 400 billion stars; most of those are red dwarf stars.
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.
What do astronomers use to map the shape of the Milky Way?
Astronomers use radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, and space-based telescopes to map the shape of the Milky Way. They measure the positions and motions of stars, gas, and dust to create a three-dimensional map of our galaxy.
What are other instruments used by the astronomers to study about stars?
Telescopes
Who looks through telescopes at the stars?
Astronomers typically look through telescopes at the stars to study celestial objects such as planets, stars, galaxies, and other phenomena in the universe. They use telescopes to gather data and make observations that help expand our knowledge of the cosmos.
Used by astronomers to study stars and planets?
Astronomers use telescopes to study stars and planets by capturing light from these celestial objects and analyzing it. They can gather data on the properties of stars and planets, such as their temperature, composition, and distance from Earth, to deepen our understanding of the universe. Telescopes come in various forms, such as optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and space telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope.
What kinds of telescopes are used to see stars in visible light?
Refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes are commonly used to observe stars in visible light. These telescopes utilize lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing astronomers to view stars with clarity and detail.
What galaxy is Canopus from?
Yes. Every star that is visible to the naked eye is in the Milky Way galaxy. You need astonishingly powerful telescopes to distinguish even the largest and brightest stars in nearby galaxies.
Who studies the stars moons and planets?
Astronomers study stars, moons, and planets. They observe, analyze, and interpret data gathered from telescopes and other instruments to learn more about the universe.
What does the milky ways name mean?
In parts of the earth without light pollution, it is possible to look up and see a band of light across the sky. It is the color of milk. It was given the name, The Milky Way. When telescopes were invented, astronomers realized the Milky Way was a band of stars. When they realized it was a part of this galaxy where we lived, they gave that name to this galaxy.
What do astronomers use?
Astronomers can use their eyes to study the stars. They can also use various telescopes that either refract, reflect, and detect exotic formations.
How are telescopes used to assist astronomers?
Telescopes are used by astronomers to collect light from celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies. They enable astronomers to study these objects in detail, revealing information about their properties, composition, and motion. Telescopes can also help astronomers in detecting and studying phenomena like supernovae, black holes, and exoplanets.
How do astronomers know about stars if they can't travel to space?
They can be seen in telescopes and instruments can measure their light, etc.
Are telescopes and microscopes used by astronomers?
Telescopes are commonly used by astronomers to observe objects in space such as planets, stars, and galaxies. Microscopes are not typically used by astronomers as they are designed for studying very small objects on Earth, such as cells and microbes.
