1. How many stars can you find?
2. again, most of the objects in this image are not individual stars, but actually distant galaxies—isolated collections of millions or billions of stars that look like a tiny dot or cloud. Determine how many galaxies are found in the image. One strategy to count the number of galaxies in the image is to just count the number of objects in ¼ of the image (the bottom left corner for example) and then multiply the number of galaxies times four to get the total number.
Total number of galaxies in this image? ___________________
3. Some of the galaxies are orange-red in color, while others are white, and others are blue. What is the most common color of galaxy in the image? Precisely explain how you determined this.
4. If we assume that all of the galaxies in this image have the same diameter, the ones that are close appear larger and the ones that are more distant appear smaller. Are most of the galaxies in this image relatively near or relatively far? What is your evidence?
