Is counting the number of something an inference?
Yes and no! Not by the normal and strict definition of counting where you sit there going "one, two etc..."An inference is where you deduce a conclusion from some known facts/information.So counting in this manner is not an example because there is no deductive process involved (there is no reasoning involved).Here is an example (not of counting) where there is reasoning: if I told you that x was greater than y, and that y was greater than 0, then you could infer that therefore x was greater than 0. You would have taken the information (the evidence if you like) and reasoned some further piece of information from it. You would have inferred something!So, finally, let me give you an example where counting perhaps could be an inference. Suppose we know that there are x number of stars in another galaxy. And suppose there is also some scientific evidence which suggests that the average number of planets orbiting a star in this galaxy is 2. Then we could inferthat there are 2x number of planets in this particular galaxy. (Note: we might be wrong about that; an inference does not necessarily have to be correct!)
What galaxy has lacks symmetry?
irregular galaxy
What are fractal lines?
a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. Fractals are useful in modeling structures (such as eroded coastlines or snowflakes) in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth, fluid turbulence, and galaxy formation.
How far is the nearest edge of the galaxy from earth?
Since our galaxy is about 100,000 light-years side to side and we are about 30,000 light-years from the centre of our galaxy then by dividing 100,000 by 2 making it 50,000 and then minus 30,000 then it estimates we should be 20,000 light-years from the nearest edge of our galaxy.
Galaxy type arranged by size?
That's a bit tricky. Each type of galaxy has a wide range of sizes, so you can't say, for example, that any elliptical galaxy is larger than any spiral galaxy - because they aren't - though I believe that elliptical galaxies do have a general tendency to be larger than the other types.
Are there other visible planets that are not in our galaxy?
No. I don't believe any planets have been detected outside of our Galaxy. Within our Galaxy, planets are detected by inference not visual techniques. See link for lists of known extrasolar planets
What do radio telescopes measure the Galaxy's distribution of?
It measures hydrogen from which stars are formed.
Why are galaxy important?
We live in the Milky Way Galaxy - it's our home. That makes it important.
How did Harlow Shapley determine where the center of the galaxy lies?
by plotting the distribution of open clusters
Is the Galaxy important?
yes.
Why might it be important that we learn about the milky way galaxy?
Because we are part of this galaxy.
Why is the Milky Way so important?
The Milky Way galaxy is our home galaxy, that's where the solar system is located, and where we are. And we are important (at least to ourselves).
Did Shapley used the distribution of globular clusters in the galaxy to determine that the Sun was not at the center of the Milky Way?
mabye yes
Is galaxy 14 an important satellite?
I have no idear
Why is galaxy important?
Without the Milky Way Galaxy, in which our solar system exists, we would not be here.
What do you know about the geometry of the dark matter distribution in the vicinity of the Milky Way galaxy?
Nothing. We literally know nothing all we know how is that it is there somewhere.
What has the author Erich Robert Paul written?
