Does the supermassive blackhole at the center of your galaxy contain most of the mass of the galaxy?
No. The super massive black hole at the center of the galaxy has about 4 million times the mass of the sun while the galaxy as a whole has at leas 1 trillion solar masses. In other words the black hole at the center of the galaxy accounts for about one twenty-fifth of one percent of the galaxy's mass.
In what constellation is the center of the galaxy?
Not "the" quasar, but "a" quasar - there are many. A quasar is associated with a supermassive black hole, and those are generally at the center of galaxies.
What type of galaxy has a nuclear bulge in the center?
Spirals.
Is the solar system about halfway between the center of the Milky Way galaxy and its outer edge?
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
How far away is the black hole in the centre of your galaxy?
The black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 26,000 light-years away from Earth. It is known as Sagittarius A* and has a mass equivalent to about 4 million times that of our sun.
How did Harlow Shapley determine where the center of the galaxy lies?
Harlow Shapley determined the center of the galaxy by studying the distribution and motion of globular clusters. By observing the positions and velocities of these clusters, he discovered that they were not evenly distributed in the sky but rather congregated towards a point in the constellation Sagittarius, indicating the center of the galaxy.
Why do astronomers believe that a supermassive black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way galaxy?
Astronomers believe a supermassive black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way galaxy because of the high speeds of stars and gas near the center, as well as the intense radiation emitted from that region. These observations suggest the presence of a massive object that can only be explained by a supermassive black hole.
What is the center of your galaxy named?
Probably the same as the center of YOUR galaxy.
What color is the center of the spiral galaxy?
The center of a spiral galaxy is which color
What color is the center of a spiral galaxy?
The center of a spiral galaxy is which color
What is at the center of every galaxy?
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
Is there a black hole at the center of your galaxy?
Yes, there is a very large black hole at the center of our galaxy. It has a mass of about three million suns and is very far from Earth at a distance of about 24,000 light-years. Huge black holes are thought to occur naturally at the center of most large galaxies and many have already been detected. The black hole which lies at the center of our galaxy is much too far away to be of any danger to Earth.
What is located in the center of every galaxy?
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
What is A galaxy with a huge bulge in its center?
A spiral galaxy
Which part of galaxy does the solar system lay?
Our solar system lies about halfway out (roughly 27,000 light years) from the galactic center, on a spur of the galactic arm called the Orion Arm, or sometimes called the Orion spur or simply "local spur".
Do galaxies orbit an object?
Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.
