Who was the astronomer or scientist that first discovered the stars?
Who was the astronomer or scientist that first discovered the stars? It was you. It happened when you were very young. You were so young that you had not learned to walk or talk yet, so you don't remember. You just looked up to the sky one dark evening, and there they were!
Pleiades is an open cluster of stars. Most are hot B type stars so it will have a temperature of about 10,000 -> 30,000 K so will appear blue to blue white.
What galaxy is the constellation Taurus in?
All of the constellations that people have ever invented, and all the stars you can see
with your eyes, are in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The nearest other galaxy ... the so-called "Andromeda Galaxy" ... is technically visible to the
naked eye. But it's not easy to see, and it's not bright enough to have been included in any
constellation that people invented and made up stories about. And there's definitely no way
you can possibly see individual stars in it.
What galaxy is Alrisha in the constellation Pisces in?

How do you measure the distance between two heavenly bodies?
Let's say we want to measure the distance between objects A and B. First, we measure the distance from the Earth(point E) to these objects(using Doppler-shifts).Then, we measure the angle AEB.We now know the lengths of two sides, and the angle between them. That's how we find the distance AB.
If you mean the constellation, it's in the northern sky. Bordering Andromeda; Lacerta; Cygnus; Vulpecula; Delphinus; Equuleus; Aquarius; and Pisces.

Did some of the stars of the little dipper burn out?
No. It is a common misconception that the stars we see at night have burnt out by the time their light reaches us.
In truth, all stars visible to the naked eye are within a few hundred light years of us. So we see those stars as they were, at most, a few hundred years ago. Such a time period is not even a blink of an eye in the life of a star.
More importantly than where the light was when precision astronomical measurements began is where/when the light originated from. Since the light samples a large range of space and time we can make useful and accurate cosmological observations.
What are the names of the Orion Arms?
The Orion Arm is a minor spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. We are located in the Orion Arm.
It is also called the Local Arm, the Local Spur or the Orion Spur.
The law is called The Inverse Square Law .
