There are 35 galaxies in the so-called "Local Group" The three largest galaxies are the Milky Way (our own), and the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies. However, most of the visible stars we see are part of the Milky Way and two nearby dwarf galaxies, the "Small Magellanic Cloud" and the "Large Magellenic Cloud". There are 10 other dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way.
What else can I help you with?
What is a group that is closer together than the surrounding stars is called an?
A group of stars that are closer together than the surrounding stars is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be divided into two main types: open clusters and globular clusters, with open clusters being more loosely bound than globular clusters.
What does DNA look like when it's clumped together?
When DNA is clumped together, it takes on a condensed and compact structure known as chromatin. In this state, DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which then further coil and condense to form chromosomes. This condensed structure allows DNA to be packed efficiently within the cell nucleus.
What are leaves that grow in clusters called?
bunches
Astronomers think planets formed from interstellar dust and gases that clumped together in a process called?
Planetesimal formation.
What are cocci that occur in clusters or groups called?
Cocci that occur in clusters or groups are called staphylococci. Staphylococci are bacteria that are round in shape and arranged in clusters, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common example.
What is the name for clumped together hair?
It's called a mat. Or matted hair.
What are galaxies that travel together through space called?
Galaxies that travel together through space are called galaxy groups or galaxy clusters. These are systems of galaxies bound together by gravity.
What is a group that is closer together than the surrounding stars is called an?
A group of stars that are closer together than the surrounding stars is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be divided into two main types: open clusters and globular clusters, with open clusters being more loosely bound than globular clusters.
What is a name for a really huge group of stars that are close together?
They are called "Star Clusters".
What are Bits and pieces of rocks clumped together called?
A clump. Unless they have undergone compaction and cementation in a process known as lithification. Then they would be classified as a sedimentary rock, maybe conglomerate, breccia, or sandstone.
What is the spherical region surrounding the disk of a spiral galaxy which contains globular clusters and reddish population II stars called?
The Galactic halo is the spherical region surrounding the disk of a spiral galaxy which contains globular clusters and reddish population II stars.
What two consonants together are called?
Two consonants together are called a consonant cluster. In English, consonant clusters can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of words.
What are clusters of stars that all appear to lie at the same distance from us?
Clusters of stars that all appear to lie at the same distance from us are called star clusters. There are two main types: open clusters, which contain young stars and are loosely bound together, and globular clusters, which contain older stars and are tightly packed.
Are there many galaxy clusters in the universe?
A collection of galactic groups form a cluster of galaxies. A supercluster is the largest known structure. Galaxies can exist outside of a group or cluster, but the estimated amount is only about 5%. However, there is a possibility that these galaxies may have interacted or merged with other galaxies in the past,
What do you call the clusters of chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy?
They are called photosystems. Photosystems are groups of chlorophyll molecules and associated proteins that work together to absorb and transfer light energy during the process of photosynthesis.
What is a group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together?
A group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be either open clusters, which are loosely bound and contain young stars, or globular clusters, which are tightly bound and contain older stars.
