Galaxy 14 was launched on September 15, 2005. It is a communications satellite operated by Galaxy, a subsidiary of Intelsat. The satellite was designed to provide services to cable television operators and direct-to-home television providers in North America.
Could you see a galaxy that is 20 billion light - years away?
No, since the light cannot reach us at that distance. the space was born 14 billion light years ago and we cannot even see a little spot of 14 billion light years ago which means that we cant see anything that is 20 million light years far.
How many different shapes of galaxy are there?
There are four classifications for galaxy shapes. Spiral, like our milky way, oblique, such as G 3417., a conjoined spiral, (these are fairly rare so far, that is we have seen very few of these so far), this type of galaxy forms when two spiral galaxies get close enough that the gravitational pull from each of the galaxies massive black holes, (located in the center of every galaxy), "pull" the two galaxies towards one another and the result is a spectacular collision that can last for many billions of years. The last classification is commonly known as "junk galaxies", (although there is no actual name), and it includes all other shapes that are not included in the other three classifications.
Do some spiral galaxies contain 1 trillion stars?
Yes. Some spiral galaxies do contain at least 1 trillion stars.
Unless you have a extremely powerful telescope, a galaxy and a star look almost the same.
Yes, the sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy.
what? that's a load of rubbish, it IS the center of the galaxy. the MILKY WAY galaxy, that's why there IS a galaxy, because its gravitational pull pulled planets into orbit, thus CREATING one!
Which galaxy has no blue stars?
Elliptical Galaxy
The Elliptical Galaxy has mostly old stars and blue stars are new stars.
Small.
M10 is a globular cluster and thus has no real defining boundaries.
The M10 core is approximately 35 light years wide, whereas the spatial diameter is around 83 light year across.
Why is it reasonable to suspect that travel between stars is nearly impossible?
Because the distances are just too great.
Our nearest star is over 4.2 light years away.
To drive to it at 100mph would take over 28 and a half million years.
What do scientists think is the reason that irregular galaxies may not have consistent shapes?
they think that....
Do gamma ray bursts emit light faster than the speed of light?
Gamma ray bursts emitting light! What is meant by this? Any way gamma ray coming out of a radioactive nucleus is also an electromagnetic radiation as light but with very much higher frequency. Gamma ray also travels with the same speed as light does. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, no radiation can travel with a velocity higher than that of light
Arrange largest to smallest spiral galaxie pulsar red giant cluster of galaxies?
What is the age of an irregular galaxy?
About 13 billion years old. The Universe itself is approximately 13.75 billion years old. All galaxies are about the same age and Irregular Galaxies were more common when the universe was younger.
Can you live on the milky way galaxy?
We live IN the milky way galaxy...There isn't a such thing as living ON the milky way galaxy....
What is the PGC 198197 galaxy?
The PGC 198197 galaxy (one of the background galaxies of the NGC 253 galaxy) is a spiral galaxy 800 million light-years from Earth in the Sculptor constellation, and is 100,000 light-years in diameter (same size as the Milky Way), and contains about 100 billion stars (the same number of stars as the Milky Way).

How fast is the cigar galaxy moving?
Relative to what?
From the Milky Way Galaxy it is receding at about 203 km/s
What is a difference between a barred and a normal spiral galaxy?
As the name suggests, the barred spiral galaxy has a barred central core.

What is meant by the term Andromeda?
