This is believed to be about 100000 light years in width. This means 100000 times 6000000000000 miles! And our galaxy is only a tiny part of a still larger system. There are probably millions of galaxies out beyond the Milky Way. And perhaps all these galaxies put together are still only ...

Rigel (Beta Orionis) is a blue very luminous supergiant star in the constellation of Orion. It can be seen in the night sky. Rigel distance from Earth is 862.87 light years away.
In reply toChicagoExplore•9 months ago 1 I have an E-M10 IV. I have video set to shoot 1080p. See pages 87 to 90 of the you-know-what for available video quality options. You may be recording at an unnecessarily high bit rate or frame rate. ...
If the Solar System were the size of an Oreo cookie, the Milky way would be the size of North America. (A galaxy is a large body made up of stars, planets, and clouds of gas.) Each “star” in this picture is a galaxy, so far away it looks like a star. Until we had powerful...
Red dwarfs, or "M-dwarfs," are believed to account for 70% of the stars in theMilky Waygalaxy. Because they are thousands of degrees cooler than the sun, they burn through their fuel supplies needed for nuclear fusion relatively slowly. This means red dwarfs have exceptionally long lifetimes...
Nipple size varies markedly from woman to woman, whereas male nipples are more uniform. This finding goes against a common assumption of evolutionary biology, say Ashleigh Kelly and her colleagues from the University of Queensland in Australia in a study
Residing at a staggering distance of 160,000 light years in the constellation Dorado, WOH G64 extends its influence far beyond the realms of our Milky Way. Positioned within the Large Magellanic Cloud, this red supergiant remains a celestial marvel that challenges our observational capabilities. Des...
NASA and Congress, however, have been historically committed to spending billions on scientific endeavors into how the universe formed, and where we and theMilky Way galaxycame from. TheJames Webb Space Telescopecost taxpayersnearly $11 billion– with much of it built and assembled in the U.S....
But at a surface temperature of roughly 260 degrees Celsius, it is too hot for life as we know it. The planet orbits the star LTT 1445A, which is part of a triple system of three red dwarf stars that is 22 light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. The star has two other ...
