What else can I help you with?
Do distant galaxies have more heavy elements than nearby galaxies?
The distribution of metals (In astronomy, that is any element other that hydrogen and helium) is reliant of the population stars. (See related question) Metal rich stars, population I stars, are the latest "breed" of stars, whereas population III stars are the oldest and are classed as metal free stars. So the furthest galaxies are likely to be formed from the initial gases from the big bang and will be metal free stars,
Were stars formed before the planets?
Yes. Planets orbit around the stars, so the stars must have preceded the planets. Additionally, our concept of the "big bang" implies that the early universe was composed of 98% or more hydrogen, a percent and a bit as helium, and "everything else" as about 1%. All of the heavier solid elements were created in supernova explosions in the cores of massive stars.
Is the Earth located in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way?
The Earth and its parent star, the Sun, are located within the Milky Way galaxy, so named by the inhabitants of Earth. The Milky Way galaxy is believed to be a larger-than-average barred spiral galaxy. There may be as many as 300 billion stars in our Milky Way, maybe many more. The nearest galaxy of such enormous class we have named the Andromeda galaxy. It is roughly 2.5 million light-years distant. But there are two tiny galaxies that orbit our own Milky Way; the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. They are named for Ferdinand Magellan, the first white dude from the northern hemisphere to make a big noise about them. The Earth is located in the "Orion arm" of our galaxy, somewhere between half and two-thirds of the way out from its hellish center. In a galaxy thought to be 100,000 light years across, we find ourselves in the lucky "habitable zone" of one of its spiral arms.
How many stars are in galaxies millions or billions?
Billions at least, in the large galaxies. Obviously it depends on the size of the galaxy. It is estimated that in our Galaxy there are at least 100 billion and perhaps as many as 400 billion stars. Many galaxies are same sort of size as ours and some are much bigger. However, there are a lot of small "dwarf galaxies" The smaller dwarf galaxies have millions rather than billions of stars.
How many galaxies are in the Power Rangers Universe?
There are over 100 billion galaxies (with 100 billion+ stars (each containing 9 planets and 170+ moons)) in each one; as well as asteroids and nebulae) in the Power Rangers universe. Their light has taken 13 billion years to reach Earth.
What else was formed when the earth was formed?
The other planets, stars, galaxies, meteors, comets, and asteroids.
Could the universe have formed without gravity?
No - without gravity, galaxies would not have formed, planets would not have formed, stars would not have formed.
Are stars planets from different galaxies?
Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.
Was the universe colder or hotter in the past?
The universe was hotter in the past due to the Big Bang event which marked the beginning of the universe. As it expanded and cooled over time, galaxies, stars, and planets formed.
Are stars made of galaxies?
No, the stars actually make the planets.
Are comets asteroids stars or galaxies sometimes called minor planets?
Asteroids, some comets, and dwarf planets are classified as minor planets. Stars and galaxies are much larger than planets There are dwarf planets and these are Ceres Pluto and Eris.
Are galaxies related to planets?
Galaxies are generally a collection of stars. But within any galaxy, there are lots of other objects, including planets. So galaxies are related to planets in some ways.
Which objects began to form in your universe earlier stars or galaxies?
Galaxies are the massive collection of stars. Therefore galaxies could not have formed without stars.
Can galaxies be formed by groups of stars?
Galaxies ARE groups of stars. Lots of stars though. Not just like 2 or 3...
What can you see from outer space?
stars, planets, galaxies, darkness
Do stars form into galaxies?
Galaxies are vast collections of stars. So I guess you could say that a big group of stars forms a galaxy. Our galaxy has many big clusters of stars within it, so not all star clusters are galaxies. If you have a cluster of several million or billion (or trillion) stars surrounded by a lot of empty space, that is probably a galaxy.
What caused the galaxies and planets to form?
Galaxies and planets are thought to have formed from the gravitational collapse of vast clouds of gas and dust in space. Within these clouds, gravity caused the material to clump together, eventually leading to the formation of galaxies composed of billions of stars and planets within these galaxies.
