Galaxies

Galaxies are large systems of stars and interstellar matter, and they contain billions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has 200 to 400 billion stars, and there are over one billion known galaxies. Questions that have to do with galaxies in general and specific galaxies are perfect for this category!

What is an open cluster?

"An open cluster is a group of a few thousand stars that were formed in the same giant molecular cloud, and are still loosely gravitationally bound to each other.

In contrast, globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity.
a large cloud of stars

Do you move around the Galaxy or does the Galaxy move around us?

none of those.

milky way is a part of the galaxy

and our solar system is a part of it.

in this solar system

the planets revolve around the sun and rotate on thier own axis

Why can't we see what's behind the sun?

That's easy! Because our planet Earth revolves around the sun! and no matter where we are in space on Earth it is completely impossible to see AROUND it! THough there are probably just other planet and gas(stars)!

What color is a star if its temperature is less than 3700?

A star with a temperature less that 3,700K has a spectral class of M and will have the colour red.

How long does it take for a light year to travel across our own galaxy?

im not sure about galaxy, but for light to reach our Earth from the sun it takes about 8 minutes

What is the PGC 2416052 galaxy?

The PGC 2416052 galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2000 million light-years from Earth (redshift of 0.14) in the Bootes constellation, and is 170,000 light-years in diameter (1.7 times larger than the Milky Way), and contains about 1 trillion stars (1000 percent the number of stars in the Milky Way).

What is an evolutionary track and how can evolutionary tracks help us interpret the HR diagram?

Once a main sequence star consumes the last of it's hydrogen, the loss of energy generation causes gravitational collapse. For stars with less than about 0.2 solar masses, they could become white dwarfs once nuclear fusion ceases. For stars above this threshold the hydrogen surrounding the helium core reaches sufficient temperature and pressure to undergo fusion, forming a hydrogen burning shell. Because of this change, the outer envelope of the star expands and decreases in temperature, turning it into a red giant. At this point the star has evolved off the main sequence and is entering the giant branch. The path the star now follows across the HR diagram, to the upper right of the main sequence, is called an evolutionary track. [See Link}

What are the parts of eart?

I hope u mean earth. The parts of earth , has a core, a mantle, and the crust. The core is made of solid nickel, the pressure keeps it solid. The mantle is made of molten rock and metals. The crust is made of basalt and continetal plates,. this is where we live on =]. hope this helps

What type of scientist studies the Solar System stars and galaxies?


Collectively they are called Astronomers and Astrophysicists. Either professionals or amateurs.

There are many types of astronomers, defined by how they study the stars. The most well-known are those that use optical telescopes followed closely by those that use Radio-telescope to pick up wavelengths other than visible light. there are many others and many other ways to collect data on the galaxies and stars.

Astrophysicists are astronomers and may also collect direct data, yet they are more interested in the working behind the data. They deal in physics and theories of the galaxies.

Why can't you go on mission on spiral knight?

I don't see who said you can't. The mission system is active at all times in the game after the 'Crash Site' intro mission.

What is the shape of your galaxy and where is your solar system located within the galaxy?

The Milky Way galaxy is what's called a "barred spiral" galaxy; there are two "bars" of stars, and the spiral arms extend like a pinwheel from the bars. Scientists think it looks somewhat like NGC1300.

The Sun and our solar system are, we think, somewhere about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way out from the center, although from inside the Milky Way, it is challenging to determine exactly where we are. This is probably a good distance to be, since we believe that there is a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

In about 4 billion years, our galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy, and we can only speculate about the eventual shape of the merged galaxy. We expect that several billions of stars with their attendant solar systems (if any) will be flung off into intergalactic space by the gravitational interactions. Our Sun, which will probably have become a red giant star by that time, might be one of them.

Does galaxies ever crash into each other?

Yes, some galaxies clide into each other because of the black holes that are in the middle of every galaxy.There has been a prediction that our galaxy will collide into another galaxy very close to us in about 3 million years.When the galaxies do collide into each other, they create a super nova.A super nova is a HUGE explosion of fire and flames.After the super nova, the 2 black holes in the middle of the galaxies will combine with each other and create an even BIGGER black hole.It's very interesting.Hope this helps.

What is a person who travels in space?

A person that travels in space is known as an Astronaut, also referred to as a Cosmonaut. An astronaut is a person who travels in space. They are usually trained to operate spaceships and other machines that they may need to survive in space.

What is a long streaks of bright light caused when a meteroid gets close to the ground as it's burning up?

=ANSWER:==Frictional heating, produced by the meteoroid's energetic collision with atmospheric atoms and molecules, causes its surface to melt and vaporize and also heats the air around it. The result is the luminous phenomenon recognized as a meteor. Popular synonyms for meteors include shooting stars and falling stars. The vast majority of meteoroids that collide with Earth burn up in the upper atmosphere. If a meteoroid survives its fiery plunge through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, the object is known as a meteorite.=

What is spiral mixer?

Spiral Mixer is mainly used in Chemical, Food and Pharmaceuticals Industry. It can use for mixed product or dough.

Dough is a paste made out of any cereals (grains) or leguminous crops by mixing flour with a small amount of water and/or other liquid.

Mechanism

Spiral Mixer has compact structure and is very convenient to operate. Its transimission mechanism is installed and closed inside the machine body. The machine is equipped with speed motor so that the blade can rotate fast or slowly as you want. Furthermore, it has a time-setting device. It can complete a series of actions by turning on the machine at a time, so the mixing result is very perfect and the well-mixed dough is high elastic. The mixing machine is an ideal equipment for producing top-grade bread. A Spiral Mixer is unique to the fact that the bowl rotates as well as the hook inside of the bowl. Spiral Mixers are best for thicker density doughs.

What is a super universe?

When the Ewoks came to the universe, they also created a different universe, which is called "paradise." Which is a word humans can use nowadays becuase the Ewoks allowed them. The "Paradise" was popular, different galaxies came to the "Paradise," and now it is called super universe. Because of the Ewoks, we have 2 universes and 1 new word. "Paradise."

What are the three galaxies closest to our own galaxy?

There are over 30 local to Andromeda-see list below-
