What else can I help you with?
The clouds of Magellan the Sagittarius dwarf are examples of what galaxies?
The clouds of Magellan and the Sagittarius dwarf are examples of satellite galaxies, which are small galaxies that orbit larger galaxies like our Milky Way. They are located relatively close to the Milky Way and are gravitationally bound to it.
What revolves around the Milky Way galaxy?
There are two satellite galaxies, the Greater Magellanic Cloud and the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, which orbit the Milky Way.
What is a Magallanic cloud?
The Magellanic clouds are two small galaxies visible in the night sky only from the Southern Hemisphere. Up until 1994 when an even closer one was discovered, they were the closest galaxies to our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The Magellanic clouds are believed to be in orbit around our galaxy.
What are the names of some irregular galaxies?
Canis Major Dwarf and Small Magellanic Cloud are irregular satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.The two irregular galaxies that orbit the Milky Way are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
What is number of moons that orbit the Milky Way?
Moons do not orbit the Milky Way because they Milky Way is a galaxy. But if you are thinking about the amount of moons in the Milky Way total, it is around 1-2million. Probably even more.
How many galaxies did. Earth orbit?
The Earth, along with the Sun and all the other planets orbit around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.
What does the milky way galaxy orbit and how long does it take?
The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two giants in our local group. These two galaxies will collide, but neither one can be said to orbit the other. In some instances smaller galaxies might "orbit" a giant cluster, with periods measured in billions of years. Galaxies in general do not orbit anything. Instead they are all simply spreading further and further apart as the universe expands.
Does the galaxy orbit anything in the universe?
Yes, galaxies like the Milky Way are part of galaxy clusters that move through the universe, but they do not orbit a single object like planets orbit a star. Instead, galaxies are influenced by the gravitational forces of other galaxies and dark matter in the universe.
What type of galaxy is the Small magellanic cloud?
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. It and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are visible from the southern hemisphere, and were named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, whose crew sailing around the world were the first Europeans to see them.
Do stars orbit the sun?
No, stars do not orbit the Sun. Stars are distant celestial bodies that have their own gravitational pull and are typically found in galaxies like the Milky Way. The Sun is just one star in the Milky Way galaxy, and it has its own set of planets and other objects orbiting around it.
Is a barred spiral galaxy a type of spiral galaxy?
What do you mean with "the" barred spiral galaxy? There is not one such galaxy; there are millions of them. Also, the only galaxies that can be said to "orbit" the Milky Way are some nearby dwarf galaxies. The galaxies in the Local Group (the group which includes the Milky Way) are gravitationally bound to the Local Group, but they don't exactly orbit one another; it's probably more like they orbit around their common center of mass.
Where in space would you look for a globular cluster?
In the Milky Way galactic halo, orbiting the galactic center in a long elliptical orbit around the galactic center
