Milky Way Galaxy

The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years. If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk, we would still be within the galaxy's boundaries, so the diameter would remain around 100,000 light-years.

Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.

It is estimated that there are several hundred million neutron stars in the Milky Way galaxy, with more being created through supernova explosions over time. However, only a small fraction of these neutron stars have been detected and studied so far.

Astronomers hypothesize the presence of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way because of the high velocities exhibited by stars orbiting the region and the intense radiation emitted, which is characteristic of black hole activity. Additionally, observations of other galaxies suggest that supermassive black holes are common in galactic centers.

The Milky Way Galaxy and about 17 other galaxies within 3 million light-years are collectively known as the Local Group. This group includes galaxies such as Andromeda (M31), Triangulum (M33), and the Milky Way.

The Milky Way galaxy is much smaller than the largest known galaxy in the universe, IC 1101. IC 1101 is about 6 million light-years in diameter, whereas the Milky Way is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter.

Lots of people own little bits of the Milky Way galaxy. The Earth and everything on it is part of the Milky Way so if you own anything at all you too own a bit of the Milky Way.

People themselves are also part of the Milky Way so in a way bits of the Milky Way own parts of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is classified as a barred spiral galaxy. This means it has a central bar-shaped structure with spiral arms extending from it. The other type mentioned, elliptic spiral galaxies, have a more elliptical shape without distinct spiral arms.

Yes. In the second pilot, the first one with Kirk as the Captain, they left the galaxy. In the one with the Medusan Ambassador, they left it again. I am not sure if the Kelvans took he Enterprise outside the galaxy or not (the episode in which the crew was mostly turned into small paperweight-sized objects). And in one episode of TNG the Enterprise D wound up so far from this galaxy, I don't know if they could even tell where it was. I think this was a Q episode but am not sure.

The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).

The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter. One light-year is equivalent to about 63,240 astronomical units (AU), so the distance across the Milky Way galaxy would be around 6.32 million AU.

That sounds like an exciting mission! The images captured from beyond the halo of the Milky Way Galaxy could provide valuable insights into its structure, composition, and evolution. This data could help scientists better understand our place in the universe.

The moon is in the Milky Way. Just like Earth and everything else in our solar system.

It's really impossible for us to know but we can give pretty good simulations. You see Science is techniccaly limited to what humans can observe. Seeing that the only way to observe the milky way is to travel 1,000,000 light years away is impossible you can't scientifically prove how many arms we have. How ever by calculating the distance, and right ascension of millions of stars we can get a good guess. Most pictures will agree that the Milky Way has something to the effect of 5 arms. It seems like much more because each arme loops around 3-4 times.

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.

"Follow the Fibonacci sequence" is shorthand for "this is all new agey claptrap and I have nothing useful to say".

I don't know what you mean when you ask this question, exactly. But, sure, I'm sure that with only a small amount of fudging you could somehow force the data to fit whatever you want it to.

Yes. It takes a long, long time for one turn, like 200 million years.

Unlike the other types of supernovae, Type Ia supernovae generally occur in all types ofgalaxies, including ellipticals and they show no preference for regions of current stellar formation - they can occur anywhere in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The reason for this is that Type 1 supernovae occur when the remnant of a small star (a white dwarf) accreets enough mass (by gas capture from, or merger with another star) to exceed the Chandrasekhar limit of about 1.38 solar masses. When this mass is exceeded carbon fusion is reignited in the stellar core and the star explodes and as white dwarf stars are to be found everywhere in Galaxies and Globular clusters, the potential for Type 1 supernovae is universal. That said, obviously you would not expect to find White Dwarf stars in current star forming areas (because the dwarf forms at the end of a stars main sequence life). However Galactic rotation mixes old stars with new stars relatively quickly and this separation rapidly blurs.

The Milky Way galaxy contains a variety of stars, including main sequence stars (like our Sun), giants, supergiants, white dwarfs, and neutron stars. The most common stars are red dwarfs, making up about 70-80% of all stars in the Milky Way. There are also many other types of stars, such as yellow dwarfs (like our Sun), blue giants, and red giants.

Yes. Venus is one of the planets in our solar system, and our Sun (and the solar system) are part of the Milky Way galaxy.

biggest to smallest : universe, galaxy, star/solar system, planet, moon.

The Universe is everything that exists and a galaxy is a cluster of billions of stars and then planets rotate around stars and moons rotate around planets.

I'm unable to draw images. However, I can describe the Milky Way galaxy to you! From the top, it appears as a spiral disk with spiral arms spiraling out from the center. From the side, it looks like a flat disk with a bulging central region, surrounded by a halo of stars and dark matter.

No. The milky way galaxy consists of our solar system and many other solar systems. Since Jupiter is part of our solar system, you can safely conclude that it is indeed a part of this Galaxy.
