No, however, we can determine whether a galaxy is moving towards or away from us, by looking at the shift in its spectrographic analysis. There are "red shifts" and "blue shifts" in spectrographic results. "Blue shifts" indicate that a galaxy is moving towards us, because the wavelength of the light emitted by the galaxy is compressed, causing it to shift to the blue end of the colour spectrum. "Red shifts" indicate that a galaxy is moving away from us, because the wavelength of the light emitted by the galaxy is being stretched towards the red end of the colour spectrum.
What else can I help you with?
How is it that we have photographs of the Milky Way galaxy as if it were a distant entity yet the photos were taken from earth which resides in it?
We can not take a photo of the Milky Way as if we were at some distance from it. However we do know that the Milky Way is a Bard Spiral Galaxy with, we believe, 4 distinct spiral arms. This information enables artists to depict what the Milky Way would look like form a distance but these depictions are not photographs.Some good photographs of how the Milky Way looks from Earth are linked to below.
What galaxy is the Cat's Eye Nebula?
If you look it up, you will see that the distance from Earth is estimated at 3300 light-years (with an error estimate of 900 light-years). This is well within our own galaxy (the Milky Way), which has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.Pressumably, nebulae exist in other galaxies, but the more well-known nebulae are in our own galaxy, because, being closer, we can observe them best.
What is the distance from earth to the furthest planet in our galaxy?
Astronomers once believed that planets were probably rare and unusual, and that tere might not be very many planets. However, recent discoveries indicate that planets are far more common; in fact, almost every star that astronomers have closely observed is discovered to have some planets! So it is likely that the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is on the other side of the galaxy from the Earth. The Milky Way galaxy has a radius of about 40,000 light years, and our solar system is about 3/4 of the way out from the center. So the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is probably somewhere near 70,000 light years away.
What is the Moon's maximum distance from the sun?
That would be the Earth's distance from the Sun (at aphelion) plus the Earth-Moon distance. The latter is insignificant.
What is the galaxy that contains earth classified as?
The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, more specifically a "barred spiral galaxy" in which some stars are located in a horizontal band across the nucleus, rather than in the spiral arms.
What is the distance from earth to the milky way galaxy?
Zero. Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
How distance in galaxy is used by earth?
The distance of the nearest galaxy nearest to earth is measured by analyzing the light coming from that galaxy. This method is performed by observing the individual object's brightness.
What is the distance in kilometers between the earth and the galaxy?
0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.
What is the distance traveled by earth in the universe per hour?
around the sun + sun in galaxy+galaxy in space= speed earth?
What is the relationship between galaxy's distance from earth and the speed?
The farther away the galaxy is from ours the faster it moves from our galaxy.
What is the distance from Earth to the center of the galaxy?
The distance from Earth to the center of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 25,000 light-years. The center of our galaxy is home to a supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A*.
Why isn't a galaxy size alone useful in determining its distance from earth earth?
The only thing that can be directly observed is a galaxy's apparent size (angular size). Since galaxies come in different sizes, this can only give a rough idea of the galaxy's distance from Earth.
Is a faint galaxy a galaxy not shining brightly or clearly?
A faint galaxy appears as not shining, and look faint from the earth due to distance.
Can you say the distance between milky way galaxy and earth?
Center or whole? 0 miles if it's the whole galaxy because Earth is IN the Milky Way Galaxy but IDK center.
