what galaxy do we live in?
443551
The Milky Way. We live in one of the arms of a large spiral galaxy called the Milky Way.
1276632
A galaxy contains stars, gas, and dust. In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a bulge, a halo, and a disk containing spiral arms. Elliptical galaxies have a bulge shape and a halo, but do not have a disk. Bulge—A round structure made up primarily of old stars, gas, and dust.

Galaxy classification There are three general types: elliptical, spiral, and irregular. Perhaps the most familiar kind of galaxy are spiral galaxies.

A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems, all held together by gravity. We live on a planet called Earth that is part of our solar system. But where is our solar system? It's a small part of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Four billion years from now, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbor, Andromeda. The galaxies as we know them will not survive. In fact, our solar system is going to outlive our galaxy. ... Currently, Andromeda and the Milky Way are about 2.5 million light-years apart.

There are no humans in Star Wars. This should be obvious from the title card. We're a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Human beings evolved on this planet, Sol 3, over the last sixty million years or so depending on how you count.

The Sun has a nearly circular orbit as it goes around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and lies in the Galaxy's disk. The speed of the Sun in its orbit is ~200 kilometers per second, which means it takes us approximately 225 million years to go once around the center of the Galaxy.

The Pleiades is a star cluster in the Milky Way. Objects in other galaxies are too far and too dim to be visible with the naked eye. To give you a perspective the Milky Way Galaxy is between 150,000 and 200,000 light years in across. The Pleiades is less than 450 light years from Earth.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is typical: it has hundreds of billions of stars, enough gas and dust to make billions more stars, and at least ten times as much dark matter as all the stars and gas put together. And it's all held together by gravity.

Stars form immense groups called galaxies. A galaxy can contain many millions of stars, held together by the force of gravity. Our Sun is in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way. The Sun is about half-way from the centre of the galaxy, on one of the arms.

Until relatively recently, it was thought that our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, was far larger than the Milky Way. But the Milky Way is, in fact, considerably larger than Andromeda.

There are an estimated 200 billion to 2 trillion galaxies in the universe. Each galaxy has between 100 billion to 400 billion solar systems. The Milky Way is a galaxy, one of about 100 billion that we know of, which happens to be the one we live in. There is therefore only one Milky Way, ours.

Galaxies and constellations have one item in common: stars. Other than that, they are separate objects. Sometimes a galaxy may appear to reside inside a constellation, but this is because of our vantage point on Earth. The distance between them is millions of light years at times.

Q. Which statement best describes the relationship between Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy? Earth is billions of light-years away from the Milky Way Galaxy.

-- there are a total of just over 9,000 stars that the human eye can discern. Every single one of them is contained within our own galaxy, though, so none of these are millions of light years away. There are some that are thousands of light years distant, though.

Each galaxy has its own collection of stars, planets, black holes, neutron stars, moons, nebulae, asteroids, comets, and dark matter. Our galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and is called the Milky Way.
