Astronomers refer to a galaxy with a jumbled scattering of stars as an "irregular galaxy." These galaxies lack a defined shape or structure, distinguishing them from spiral or elliptical galaxies. Irregular galaxies often contain young stars, gas, and dust, and they can be the result of gravitational interactions or collisions with other galaxies.

How do astronomers determine the speed at which a galaxy is moving?

By examining its spectrum, and identifying absorption lines in it. Lines are shifted toward shorter wavelength if the object is moving towards us. They're shifted toward longer wavelength if the object is moving away from us.


Why astronomy course is called star?

thank you 4 that easy question........because all astronomers are searching galaxy....am i rigth?...and the stars are in the galaxy.....so their cousre called.......star....


What is the most reliable method that astronomers use to estimate the distance to a galaxy?

The Parallax Method. See the link for more info.


How did astronomers determine where earth is located within the milky way?

Astronomers determined Earth's location within the Milky Way by studying the distribution of stars, gas, and dust in our galaxy. They used techniques such as star surveys, measuring distances to different parts of the galaxy, and studying the motions of objects in the Milky Way. By comparing these observations with models of the galaxy, they were able to pinpoint Earth's position within it.


What is the distant galaxy with a black hole in its center?

Timing is everything as astronomers are making discovers all the time. As of an article posted in March of 2012 - Galaxy J1120+0641, containing the most distant supermassive black hole known to science, is so far away that light from it takes over 13 billion years to reach our planet. This means the light astronomers see from this galaxy is just 740 million years after the Big Bang.
