Are Irregular galaxies are very large.?

Yes, they are usually of a similar size range to other types of galaxies, from a few thousand lightyears across to a million or more. Their formation is often as a result of two or more galaxies colliding, or coming close to each other.


What force draws two galaxies towards each other?

The force that draws two galaxies towards each other is gravity. The gravitational force between the two galaxies pulls them towards each other and can cause them to collide or interact.


What does it mean to say that galaxies are cannibals?

They "eat" each other; Actually they merge with each other.


What happens when two spiral galaxies collide with each other?

You tend to end up with irregular galaxies


What best describes how galaxies generally move 1 toward each other 2 away from one another 3 randomly 4 galaxies do not move?

The general tendency is for galaxies to move away from each other, in other words, the Universe is expanding. Only in our "immediate neighborhood" will you also find some galaxies that move towards us.


How do you use Local Group in a sentence?

We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.


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.


Does galaxies ever crash into each other?

Yes, some galaxies clide into each other because of the black holes that are in the middle of every galaxy.There has been a prediction that our galaxy will collide into another galaxy very close to us in about 3 million years.When the galaxies do collide into each other, they create a super nova.A super nova is a HUGE explosion of fire and flames.After the super nova, the 2 black holes in the middle of the galaxies will combine with each other and create an even BIGGER black hole.It's very interesting.Hope this helps.

What directions do galaxies move?

Most move away from us, and each other.


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


If Two galaxies are interacting with each other what is the force that draws them toward each other?

The force that draws the two galaxies together is gravity, the same force which keeps the Earth rotating around the Sun and us on the Earth!
