Only one by the naked eye, AndromedaI don't know the exact number, but here is a great high resolution picture.
http://www.stopgeek.com/wp-content/uploa...Trillions of them.With the unaided eye you will not be able to see any galaxies of the 500 billion or more galaxies that are thought to be in our universe. From the Hubble space telescope we have been able to see 3,000 visible galaxies and the only thing holding us back from seeing millions more is time. The Hubble Space telescope can see only a very very small sliver of space at one time. It would take forever to cover the entire sky and at all of the distances that galaxies lie. Wouldn't it be awesome to have the most powerful telescope located on the dark side of the moon to send us back images. I believe that within 100 years there will be this telescope on the Moon beaming us back millions of images of galaxies throughout our universe.it depends, you can see andromeda with the naked eye, but you can see many others with a telescope.
and there to be honest with you, there aren't trillions of galaxys in the known universe, and you can't see far enough to see the edge of the known universe. there are about 200 billion galaxys in the KNOWN universe,not in the whole universe, cause you can't count how many galaxys there are since the universe is always expanding.
but to sum it all up, you can see many many with a telescope, you can't exactly say how many though.If you live in the southern hemisphere or the lower latitudes of the northern hemisphere, you can see the Magellanic Clouds. These are two small satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. These along with the Andromeda Galaxy are the only ones I know of that can been seen with the naked eye. I'm sure countless others have been discovered with telescopes and long exposure photography.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
