In which direction are nearly all galaxies moving relative to earth?
they are moving in all directions away, toward, sideways relative to EarthNearly all galaxies are moving away from the Earth. This is because the universe is expanding.
Are all galaxies moving away from ours because your galaxy is at the center of the universe?
Other galaxies are moving away because the universe is expanding, but we are not at the centre of the universe.
Are galaxys moving away from each other which means the universe is contracting?
No.More specifically:Not all galaxies are moving away from each other. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are moving towards each other (and at a pretty good clip, too: about 300 km/s). The entire "local group" of galaxies is moving in the general direction of something called the "Shapley Supercluster".Very distant galaxies do tend to be moving away from each other, but that means the universe is expanding, not contracting.
What does red shift tell us about other galaxies?
It tells us that most galaxies are moving away from us.
In which direction are mostly all galaxies moving?
Actually, most galaxies are all moving away from all other galaxies, not just from ours. The exception is the Andromeda galaxy, with which the Milky Way is on a collision course.
How are galaxies moving today?
galaxies are movign further away from eachother
What does the blue shift mean in regard to stars and galaxies?
Light is a spectrum. On one end it is red and the other blue. We see light in this spectrum as waves and if it is blue, the object is coming toward us. If the waves are red than it is moving away. The frequency of these waves tell us how fast and object is moving toward or away from us.
Is it possible that there is another galaxy but we just can reach it because it is very far away?
Yes. There are actually millions of other galaxies apart from our own Milky Way, and they lie at vast distances from us. Andromeda, our nearest galactic neighbor, is actually moving toward us, but is a long, long ways away. Most other galaxies are moving away from us, and they are removed from here by, um, astronomical distances. It is fair to say that other galaxies are so far away that we simply can't get there from here using current technology, and in any "real" time frame.
Which has a higher frequency a star moving away from earth or towards earth?
I would think that current evidence suggests that the stars moving away from earth, some of them in far distant galaxies moving at unimaginably high speeds, are going much faster than stars moving toward us. The entire Andromeda galaxy is moving toward us and will collide with us in roughly 5 billion years, and it is not moving anywhere near as fast as the distant retreating galaxies.
In 1912 an astronomer at Arizona's Lowell Observatory noticed that the lines in the spectra of most galaxies shifted toward the red end of the spectrum Another American astronomer Edwin Hubble lat?
Galaxies are moving away from each other in a constantly expanding universe
How many galaxies are approaching milky way galaxy and how many are moving away related to the cosmological red shift?
Most galaxies are moving away from us. Only a few galaxies, which are nearby, are moving towards us.
What does the big bang theory say about the movement of galaxies?
The Big bang theory states that the galaxies are in fact moving away from each other
