Does galaxy have an end?
Many think it’s likely you would just keep passing galaxies in every direction, forever. Scientists now consider it unlikely the universe has an end – a region where the galaxies stop or where there would be a barrier of some kind marking the end of space. But nobody knows for sure.
Is there an end to the Milky Way?
Two billion years from now, the Milky Way and Andromeda, our closest neighboring galaxy, will begin to fuse into one giant football-shaped galaxy.
How long would it take to reach the end of our galaxy?
It’s Space Day, but traveling the vast entity that is space would take far longer than a single day. The nearest galaxy: 749,000,000 (that’s 749 million) years. The end of the known universe: 225,000,000,000,000 years (that’s 225 trillion) years.
Will universe ever shrink?
There are two main ways for an expanding universe to die: The cosmos could eventually collapse back in on itself, or it could continue inflating forever. If gravity overpowers expansion, the cosmos will collapse in a Big Crunch. If the universe continues to expand indefinitely, as expected, we’ll face a Big Freeze.
Can we go to Andromeda galaxy?
Highly unlikely. Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away. Even if we managed to build a ship that could go 99.9999999999999\% the speed of light, it’ll take 2.5 million years to get there.
How long does it take to reach the end of Galaxy?
The end of the galaxy is 100000 light years away or 10^18 km away.. If ur gng at Mach 1 in a fighter jet it is going to take 300 billion years to reach the end.
Can we see stars outside of the Milky Way galaxy?
The only object you can see (without optical aid) in the sky outside of the milky way is the Andromeda Galaxy. Andromeda is over 2.5 million light years from earth; much too far to resolve individual stars without a powerful telescope.
How many light years away is the Milky Way from other galaxies?
The first and the most obvious one is the ‘Distance’. The estimated distance between Milky Way and the closest galaxies is hundreds of thousands to millions of light years.
How far would it take to travel to see our galaxy?
Finally, if we wanted to go far enough to see our entire Galaxy in all its glory, we’d need to travel about 48,000 light-years vertically. It’ll be a long time before we have the technology to do this, or even to send a telescope there, so for now we’ll just have to enjoy the incredible images we have of other spiral galaxies.
