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!

You wouldn't find any galaxies but end up in the middle of our own or you'll end up in dark space (the phrase defines itself). Since nothing travels faster than the speed of light it would take so long that noone would even be motivated to do it. You can measure light speed's distance to time by 1 lightyear would equal 1 year. So it would end up being a 32 million year long trip. But anyways what you WOULD find would more than likely be several other anomolous celestial objects to constellations much like our own.
Why do stars stay in a state of equilibrium for most of their lives?
Gravity is constantly trying to crunch the star, and the internal pressure of the star is constantly trying to blow the star up.
think of it this way..
gravity and the internal pressure are working against each other.. but by doing that, they're working together to keep the star in a constant state of equilibrium.
I had the same question and I googled it. I had that same question word for word.. Darn geosystems:)
hope this helped.
How many years will we get a message from the BFB2004 NGC 4676 278 galaxy?
Since BFB2004 NGC 4676 278 is an elliptical galaxy 6000 million light years from us, it will take 6000 million years for the message to reach its intended designation (and an additional 6000 million years for any reply from an alien civilization).
Which two gases are most common in interstellar clouds?
The two gases that are most common in interstellar clouds,consist mostly of gas,especially hydrogen and helium.
Can astronauts go outside the Milky Way Galaxy?
Theoretically, yes. However, no human has ever been outside the Milky Way Galaxy and it's not clear that we ever will, either. Most space exploration is done by robots. The Milky Way Galaxy is a collection of millions of stars, including our own solar system. No human has even left our solar system - in fact, humans have not visited any celestial object in the solar system other than the Earth or the Moon. So humans have not even explored all of our solar system, let alone all of the Milky Way Galaxy, let alone anything outside of that.
Further more, only a single robot has ever made it beyond the reaches of our galaxy; dubbed Voyager 1, it has travelled at speeds upwards of 35,000 mps for 25-35 years to reach it's destination.
Below is a pull from Google on it.
- Voyager 1 is a 722-kilogram (1,592 lb) space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977, to study the outer Solar System. Operating for 37 years, 5 months and 4 days as of February 9, 2015, the spacecraft communicates with the Deep SpaceNetwork to receive routine commands and return data.
Does the milky way galaxy expand?
If you mean by more stars being created in it, then yes. If you mean that the stars in it move apart (as in, away from the centre), then no. Our galaxy is continiously moving away from other galaxys, which has got alot to do with the 'big bang'. So to answer your question, you're going to have to make your own options because your question is too vague.
Why can't you take pictures of the milky way from the outside?
It is simply too far a distance. Even traveling at the speed of light it would take thousands of years to leave the galaxy and tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years to see the whole thing in one shot. We have only been sending things into space for a few decades and no probe travels anywhere near the speed of light. The furthest probe we have now took nearly 35 years to travel a distance light would cover in less than a day.
How old are the stars in spiral galaxies?
A spiral galaxy is just a type of galaxy but I can tell you that the stars in the middle are the oldest and the ones on the outside are the youngest.
Where can you find buskat in galaxy on fire 2?
Look in the black market after you buy the Valkyrie pack there should be some there
Why the days become shorter after 21 June?
The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. It begins around June 21-22 and ends around September 22. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours.

How big is 2.36356374 x 10 to the 22 and that's how far the Andrameda Galaxy is?
Typed out, that number is...
23635637400000000000000.
How many galaxies are there so far?
See "related links" for a list of some important ones.
The Hubble Space Telescope alone has observed thousands, and that was just by looking at a very small patch of the sky.
There are actually millions that could be observed if we had time to do it.
In fact, astronomers calculate that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies.
In theory many of them could be observed and the number we can see will increase as our technology improves.
What is the relationship between the position of the north star and latitude?
The angle between the north star and the horizon is roughly your position in degrees latitude.
For example, look at the North Star and point one arm straight at it, and then hold your other arm level with the horizon. The angle between your arms is roughly the degrees of latitude of your location.
The cluster, which contains the Milky way and more than 50 other galaxies, is called the Local Cluster. The cluster has a diameter of 3.1 million parsecs (10 million light years). The Local Group is part of the much larger Virgo Supercluster.
What type of energy does a pulsar emit?
A Pulsar is highly magnetised, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.

Can galaxies divided into types base on size?
are spiral galaxies are generally older than elliptical
