What else can I help you with?
Can quasars be mistaken for stars since they're distant galaxies with an active nucleus at the center of it?
No they cannot be mistaken for stars as stars can be seen by the human eye & Quasars cannot.
How does the energy of the cosmic microwave background compare to the energy radiated by all the stars and galaxies that ever existed?
The energy of the cosmic microwave background is about 400,000 times less than the energy of all the stars and galaxies that ever existed. The CMB is the remnant radiation from the early universe, while the energy radiated by stars and galaxies have been accumulating over millions of years.
Which stars are actually a galaxy?
No stars are actually a galaxy. All stars are stars and all galaxies are galaxies. Stars are found in galaxies. Some galaxies look like tiny dots in our night sky, so might look like a star, but they are not stars; they are galaxies.
What are all stars and galaxies in?
All stars and galaxies are in the universe.
How many stars are in Taurus constallation?
11 Actually, this question is impossible to answer, since a constellation is technically a region of sky, not a limited number of stars. In addition to the many faint stars in Taurus that we can see individually, there are many galaxies in Taurus, each with millions of stars.
Are there any stars between Galaxies?
Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies. Such stars have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Taken from http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=384
What isTrigonometic parallax used to obtain distance to?
parsecs and arc seconds of one parallax to the distant background stars. it doesnt work very well across the intergalactic medium because there are no background stars outside of galaxies, so it mostly works to determine very far away distances within a galaxy or galaxies
Do Galaxies contain millions of stars?
Smaller galaxies do. Larger galaxies contain billions or even trillions of stars.
Which objects began to form in your universe earlier stars or galaxies?
Galaxies are the massive collection of stars. Therefore galaxies could not have formed without stars.
How many background galaxies are behind the Spiderweb galaxy?
There are tens of thousands of background galaxies behind the Spiderweb galaxy (with billions of stars, planets, and moons in each one; as well as asteroids and nebulae). Their light has taken 12 billion years to reach Earth.
How are galaxies and stars related?
Stars and Galaxies are related because a galaxy is a system of billions of stars, gases, and dust.
When galaxies collided they form?
Bigger galaxies. And stars.
