What else can I help you with?
A galaxy with a bulge at its center and spiral arms?
This type of galaxy is categorized as a spiral galaxy. The bulge at the center contains older stars, while the spiral arms consist of younger stars and gas and dust regions where new star formation occurs. The Milky Way is an example of a galaxy with a bulge and spiral arms.
What constellation is the galaxy M74 in?
Difficult to say. There are no fixed markers in space, no road signs, nothing that everyone might agree on as the "starting point" for measurement. It appears - to US - that the Milky Way Galaxy is here, and almost everything else is moving away from us. (Curiously, the Andromeda Galaxy is coming CLOSER, and we expect Andromeda to collide with the Milky Way in about 4 billion years, more or less.) People who live on planets orbiting stars in any other galaxy would see the same thing; their galaxy would be in the middle, and everything else would be moving away from THEM. We're here, and all of our measurements are measured relative to the Earth, or our Sun, or our Galaxy. That's all we know.
If the milky way galaxy did not exist would human life exist?
Simple answer no if the Milky Way did not exist there would be no human race. We are part of the Milky Way galaxy in the most fundamental ways. We live here. We evolved here. Every element that goes up to make the Earth and you except hydrogen and most of the helium comes from stars that lived and died billions of years ago within the Milky Way. We owe our entire existence to the Milky Way. It is absolutely probable that life has arisen in far off galaxies. They might even look remarkably like humans although that is very doubtful but still they will not be humans.
Why was the Norma Arm of the Milky Way galaxy given that name?
It's also called the Cygnus Arm or Cygnus-Norma Arm, which might give you a clue to the source of the name if you're more familiar with northern constellations than southern ones. Norma is one of the constellations the Milky Way passes through. It's otherwise fairly unremarkable, consisting mainly of two moderately bright stars, so it's not surprising that many people have never heard of it.
What is our position in the galaxy and the universe?
Earth is located in the Milky Way galaxy, specifically in one of the spiral arms. In terms of the universe, Earth is located in the Local Group of galaxies, which is a collection of about 54 galaxies that includes the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.
Why might it be important that we learn about the milky way galaxy?
Because we are part of this galaxy.
Which candy bar shares a name with your galaxy?
There are two I can think of that you might be referring to: 1) Galaxy which is distributed by the Mars confectionery company . 2) Milky way which is also distributed by the Mars confectionery company.
What might happen to the Andromeda galaxy in future?
It will "merge" not collide with the Milky Way Galaxy in about 4 billion years times.
A galaxy with a bulge at its center and spiral arms?
This type of galaxy is categorized as a spiral galaxy. The bulge at the center contains older stars, while the spiral arms consist of younger stars and gas and dust regions where new star formation occurs. The Milky Way is an example of a galaxy with a bulge and spiral arms.
In which galaxy is Earth and how many galaxies might there be?
The earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy. There are estimates now that there could be more galaxies than there are grains of sand. Hundreds of billions at least.
What is the star called located in the center of the milky way galaxy?
Because of the clouds of gas and dust that exist in the Milky Way, we are unable to see stars near the core of the galaxy. So, if there is one there, it does not have a name. But it is entirely possible that there is not star at the center of our galaxy. Recent radio telescope observations indicate that many galaxies contain hyper-massive black holes at their centers, and our own Milky Way might be among them.
What is the Jupiter distance from your galaxy?
The solar system, including the Sun, the Earth and Jupiter, are part of the Milky Way galaxy. There is no "distance" involved. You might as well ask how far away you are from your left toenail.
Which is bigger the solar system or the milky way?
Considering the Solar System is part of the Milky Way Galaxy, that might give you a clue. The Solar System is about 4 light years in diameter, depending on how you measure it. The Milky Way is 100,000 light years in diameter.
How many moons in milky way galaxy?
Come back in a few billion years and the question might be answerable. Till then, we don't know.
Are all the stars you can see in the milky way?
Any individual star you can see is in the Milky Way galaxy... with one possible exception. Supernovae in nearby galaxies might be bright enough to see as individual stars.
What are all the planets in the Milky Way galaxy atmosphere made of?
Not much is known about other planets, except for the few that are nearby. There isn't even a good estimate on how many planets there might be in the Milky Way; but there are probably several hundred billions of them.
What is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way?
Ah, isn't our universe truly a wonderful place? Andromeda galaxy is our closest neighbor in the vast cosmic expanse, just gracefully floating nearby like a delicate whisper in the night sky. The beauty of these galaxies dancing together harmoniously is a true gift for our eyes to behold.
