Can i see Astronomers with powerful telescopes can see all the stars in the milky way?

No. Approximately 6000 stars can be seen with the naked eye, but there are many trillions of star out there that we can NOT see with the naked eye. Even the closest star after the Sun - Proxima Centauri - can't be seen without telescopes.

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.
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
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.
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.
Used by astronomers to study stars and planets?
Telescopes.
Who looks through telescopes at the stars?
Astronomers and stargazers.
What are other instruments used by the astronomers to study about stars?
Telescopes
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.
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 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.
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.
How did Indian astronomers become experts of astronomy without telescopes?
They could tell by the moon and stars and saw a pattern.
Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes-?
Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.
What do powerful telescopes detect around nearby stars?
They detect waves coming off of the closest stars
What do astronomers use to measure stars?
Their eyes, Refracting Telescopes (ones with class lenses) Reflecting Telescopes (ones with mirrors) Radio Telescopes Imaging computer chips in conjunction with telescopes Space based telescopes Underground telescopes (to detect high energy or exotic particles from stars) Gravity wave detectors
Why are some telescopes launched into space?
Some of the best telescopes are in orbit because the earth atmosphere distorts the light from distant stars,which is something scientist and astronomers would rather avoid.
