At the center of a large cluster, you'll usually find large and massive galaxies.

What is at the center of Seyfert galaxies?
Nothing special - Just like most large galaxies, they are thought to have a super massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
What is one way that an elliptical galaxy differs from the other types of galaxies?
Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.
What is an globular cluster galaxy?
A globular cluster (without "galaxy") is a large group of stars, in form of a sphere, within a galaxy. A galaxy may have thousands of such clusters. I am not sure whether the term "globular cluster galaxy" has any meaning in astronomy. It might be a galaxy with a lot of such clusters.
How many times bigger than the Milky Way is a typical galactic cluster?
When we say "bigger" here, we could be talking about the volume of space the objects take up, or the number of stars involved. In either case, it's tough sledding to make comparisons. In looking at the volume of space taken up by galactic clusters, we see galaxies bigger and smaller than our own Milky Way clustered together. Additionally, we can look at the sum of the volumes of the individual galaxies, or the volume of space that is "under control" of the gravity binding the galaxies in the cluster. In the former case, several tens the volume might be involved. In the latter, 106 to 109 times the volume might be too small as the distances between galaxies, even in a galactic cluster, is enormous. From 3 to 5 times or several tens of times the number of stars could be in a galactic cluster when compared to our Milky Way. We're still finding galactic clusters, and then categorizing them and cataloging them. Making comparisons is still a large challenge.
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.
Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies a a large spiral galaxy b a giant elliptical galaxy c a small irregular galaxy?
B.) A giant elliptical galaxy
How do you define a cluster?
In astronomy, a cluster is a large group of celestial bodies such as stars or galaxies.
Is the Virgo cluster a globular cluster?
No, a globular cluster is a group of stars that are part of a galaxy. The Virgo cluster is much bigger. It is a large nearby group of galaxies.
What is a large group of gas dust and millions of stars?
That can be a large globular cluster, or a galaxy. Or any larger structure that includes galaxies.
Do dozens of dwarf galaxies merge and form into a giant elliptical galaxy?
Not just dwarf galaxies. Giant elliptical galaxies lie likely the result of many galaxies, small and large, merging.
How do you spell galexses?
The likely word is the plural "galaxies" (large-scale collections of stars).
In which of these galaxies would you be least likely to find an ionization nebula?
a large elliptical galaxy
What is at the center of Seyfert galaxies?
Nothing special - Just like most large galaxies, they are thought to have a super massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
What is the cluster galaxy?
solar systems. ================= A galaxy cluster is a large number of galaxies (more than 50, less than 50 is generally referred to as a galaxy group) with the following characteristics: They contain 50 to 1,000 galaxies, hot X-ray emitting gas and large amounts of dark matter The distribution of the above-mentioned three components is approximately the same in the cluster. They have total masses of 1014 to 1015 solar masses. They typically have a diameter from 2 to 10 Megaparsecs (1 Megaparsec = approximately 3,262,000 light years) The spread of velocities for the individual galaxies is about 800-1000 km/s.

What fills the space between galaxies?
To a large extent, empty space. But there are also isolated stars and other objects, as well as dust and gas. It seems that the intergalactic gas in a galaxy cluster, though thinly spread, has about as much mass as all the galaxies!
What does the Local Group revolve around?
a cluster of about 40 galaxies to which the milky way galaxy belongs Five popular Local Group galaxies: 1. Milky Way 2. Andromeda 3. Triangulum 4. Large Magellanic Cloud 5. Small Magellanic Cloud
