This universe contains randomly generated galaxies, stars, asteroids, artificial structures (such as space stations and shops), and planets. Players create and customize their own spacecraft to explore the universe. [3] [4] Players create ships with special blocks, where they can then proceed to customize their ship in the game's "Ship Build ...
Radio-faint galaxies like M 31 and M33, the Milky Way's neighbors, have weaker fields (about 5 μG), while gas-rich galaxies with high star-formation rates, like M 51, M 83 and NGC 6946, have 15 μG on average. In prominent spiral arms, the field strength can be up to 25 μG, in regions where cold gas and dust are also concentrated.

The following is a list of particularly notable actual or hypothetical stars that have their own articles in Wikipedia, but are not included in the lists above. BPM 37093 — a diamond star Cygnus X-1 — X-ray source
In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...
Size (left) and distance (right) of a few well-known galaxies put to scale. There are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in all of the observable universe. [1] On the order of 100,000 galaxies make up the Local Supercluster, and about 51 galaxies are in the Local Group (see list of nearest galaxies for a complete list).
IC – (celestial object) Intracluster, either the regions between stars in star clusters or the region between galaxies in galaxy clusters; ICE – (spacecraft) International Comet Explorer; ICM – (celestial object) intracluster medium, is the superheated gas present at the center of a galaxy cluster; ICQ – (publication) International ...
This is a list of NGC objects 1001–2000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). The astronomical catalogue is composed mainly of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.Other objects in the catalogue can be found in the other subpages of the list of NGC objects.
