What else can I help you with?
Do all stars belong to a galaxy or can a star exist without belonging to a galaxy?
All stars we currently know of are part of a galaxy. Stars are born within galaxies from clouds of gas and dust. If a star were to exist without belonging to a galaxy, it would likely be a result of very rare and extreme circumstances, such as being ejected from its parent galaxy due to a collision or interaction with another galaxy.
What contains dust and gas and young stars?
A nebula contains dust and gas, which are the raw materials for forming new stars. Nebulae are regions in space where young stars are born from the gravitational collapse of these materials.
Where in your galaxy does most star formation take place?
New stars form in younger galaxies and nebula that have enough cosmic matter to form the foundation for new stars. These galaxies are commonly referred to as star nurseries.New stars form most everywhere, but particularly in dark nebulae
The furthest objects visble in the sky are called?
The furthest objects visible in the sky are called galaxies. These vast systems of stars, dust, and gas are located millions or even billions of light-years away from us. Examples include the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy.
Are nebulae in your solar system?
Not yet - but in about 5 billion years - yes.
How often is a star born in our galaxy?
Well, I am not exactly sure what you mean but the Sun is located 26,000 light-years from the galaxy's center in one of the spiral arms. In the galaxy, all stars orbit around a central region or core. It takes about 225 million years for the sun to orbit the center of the Milky Way. That's as much infotmation as I can give to you. Hope that helped and your question is somewhat answered. :D
What is the first portion of a galaxy that forms?
The first portion of a galaxy that forms is usually the central bulge, which consists of older stars and a dense concentration of matter. This is followed by the formation of the spiral arms as gas and dust are pulled towards the center, where new stars are born.
Stars born in a galaxy?
You will need to expand on that question. If you mean how many stars are born in a galaxy then it would be inaccurate for me to give an answer because a galaxy is a vast, heavy grouping of stars, supported by gravity. There is no minimum or maximum amount of stars allowed and so a galaxy could vary quite vastly in the number of stars it contains.
Do all stars belong to a galaxy or can a star exist without belonging to a galaxy?
All stars we currently know of are part of a galaxy. Stars are born within galaxies from clouds of gas and dust. If a star were to exist without belonging to a galaxy, it would likely be a result of very rare and extreme circumstances, such as being ejected from its parent galaxy due to a collision or interaction with another galaxy.
Does the number of stars change in a galaxy?
The number of stars in a galaxy remains relatively stable over time, as stars are created and destroyed continuously through processes like supernovae and star formation. However, galaxies can merge with one another, which can increase the total number of stars in the resulting combined galaxy.
How do stars get to the galaxy?
There are billions of galaxies. Most stars are born in one galaxy but others are pulled in by the huge gravitational forces of the black hole in the centre.
Will there ever be another sun?
All the stars we can see are suns. Egotistically we call our star The Sun.Stars are being born and dying all the time, in our galaxy and in others.
Why is the Pleides called a stellar nursery?
Pleiades is considered a stellar nursery because it is a dense region of stars and gas in our galaxy where stars are still being formed. Basically, Pleiades is a stellar-sized birthing place of stars.
Where in the galaxy are most stars born?
Stars are born in areas of space that contain a high enough density of molecular hydrogen to cause fusion. These areas of space are known as molecular clouds and are the locations in space where the majority of stars are created.
How was the baby boom galaxy named?
The "baby boom galaxy" was named the "baby boom galaxy" because of the surprising amount of new stars being "born", created within it. At over 4,000 new stars per year it is the "mother" of all stellar births. In comparison, our Galaxy, the Milky Way, only one to two new stars are formed each year.
When are stars born?
New stars are being born all the time. The rate of star formation in the Milky Way is about 7 new stars a year.
What part of the Milky Way galaxy is visible from Earth?
Ah, isn't that a lovely question? When you gaze up at the night sky, what you're actually seeing of the Milky Way galaxy is the galactic center and the spiral arms that fan out from it. It's like looking at a tiny snippet of a beautiful painting that stretches across our sky - simply breathtaking!
