Stars can be seen (in perfect conditions with perfect eyesight) as dim as 6th magnitude. This includes all types of star. Stars which are either too far away or too intrinsically dim cannot be seen.

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.


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 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.


How far can a lion see?

In complete darkness wherein a human would see absolutely nothing, (as in without any light including without the light of moon and stars), a lion can see 60 meters ahead. In daylight, of course much, much further. A lion's eye vision is six times better than humans, therefore it must see objects six times further than a naked human eye.


How can you see vy canis majoris?

You can't see it with the "naked eye", but binoculars or a small telescope should show it. In fact it is a very bright star, but it's quite along way from Earth. Also it's a variable star, so its brightness varies.

Why do most stars look slightly red in color?

I don't think they do. At least, not if by "most stars" you mean "most stars you can see with the naked eye", for example. On the other hand, most stars actually ARE red, since red dwarves are in a majority; however, we can't see even the closest red dwarf with the naked eye.


Are all the stars you see in the Milky Way galaxy?
