Galaxies.
The Milky Way is a galaxy made up of billions of stars of which our solar system is a part. A constellation is a grouping of stars in apparent proximity that form identifiable patterns. Both are made up of stars.
I think you need to better define what you mean by "configuration". If you mean a pattern of stars with which you can play connect-the-dots to form a picture in the sky, that configuration is called a constellation. If by configuration you mean a close grouping of stars, it would be called a cluster if the total number of stars was in the hundreds of thousands to millions, or even a galaxy of the total number of stars was in the hundres of millions to billions.
That is a galaxy. The one we live in is called the Milky Way. There are millions of other galaxies in the universe, many of which have a spiral structure (and probably a black hole in the middle).
The verb in the sentence is "is," which is a form of the verb "to be."
No. The stars we see in the night sky are INthe Milky Way Galaxy, they form part of it.Galaxies are made of billions of stars.
Galaxies are made up of billions of stars, along with gas, dust, and dark matter. These components come together to form vast systems that are bound together by gravity.
They form galaxies, galactic clusters, and galactic superclusters.
A star cluster or a constellation can be a name given to a close knit grouping of stars. A group of constellations will form a galaxy..
No, stars form at different times and in different locations throughout the universe. Some stars formed billions of years ago, while others are still forming today in regions like stellar nurseries. The formation of stars depends on factors such as the availability of gas and dust, gravitational collapse, and surrounding conditions.
An asterism is a grouping of stars that form a recognizable pattern within a constellation. It is not an officially recognized constellation, but rather a grouping of stars within a constellation that may have cultural or historical significance. Examples include the Big Dipper in Ursa Major and the Summer Triangle formed by three bright stars in different constellations.
A galaxy is larger than a supergiant constellation. A galaxy can contain billions to trillions of stars, while a supergiant constellation refers to a group of stars that form a recognizable pattern in the sky, typically within our own galaxy.
