Here is what i belive to be the correct awnser. If you belive in the big bang theory then you swould know the universe started from the middle and started expanding out so the closest galaxie is moving away with us but distant galaxies are also moving away from us now i dont know about how they move or what speed they move at or if theres a differnce it is possible considering some galaxies formed billions of years after our a slowley catching up with as so i belive it varies now i hope this answer your question people may edit this in future and make it easyer to understand.
Distant galaxies are moving away from Earth at faster speeds compared to nearby galaxies. This is due to the expansion of the universe, where galaxies farther away experience a greater redshift, indicating faster recession velocities. This relationship is described by Hubble's Law, which states that the recessional velocity of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance from us.
Nearly all galaxies are moving away from our galaxie and planet.
Yes. The farthest known galaxies move away from us faster than the speed of light. While this is not possible for nearby objects, in this case space itself is expanding.
Most galaxies are moving away from us. Only a few galaxies, which are nearby, are moving towards us.
Nearby galaxies won't show much of a redshift, because they aren't moving away very quickly - or at all. For example, the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is actually getting closer - and will collide with the Milky Way in about 3 billion years.
Hubble Space Telescope observations revealed that the most distant galaxies are much younger and smaller than those found nearby, providing insights into the early universe. These galaxies often exhibit irregular shapes and higher rates of star formation, indicating they are in a formative stage of evolution. Hubble's findings also support the concept of galaxy formation and evolution over cosmic time, showing that galaxies have grown and evolved significantly since their inception. Additionally, the discovery of these distant galaxies has helped refine the understanding of the universe's expansion and the influence of dark energy.
Planets are a lot closer, so their apparent motion is a lot more noticeable. If you stand on a hill and look at a distant highway, the cars may seem to be barely moving; your friend walking nearby (at a much slower speed) will appear to be moving much faster.
far, distant, long.
Galaxies change very slowly.
This knowledge has been obtained gradually, over the years. For example, one important detail is that with the improved telescopes available since the 20th. century, it is possible to observe the individual stars in a galaxy. The distance to relatively nearby galaxies can be obtained using methods that match characteristics of stars in a galaxy to those in our own (standard candles). For very distant galaxies, scientists depend on the shift in their color that indicates their motion relative to us, and the faster they are moving, the more likely they are also farther away (Hubble's Law). * For more details about distance calculations, check the Wikipedia article on "Cosmic distance ladder".
For a start, look up "Local Group" in the Wikipedia. This will show you a list of nearby galaxies.
