Away.
If the Universe was shrinking the galaxies would appear to be moving towards the Earth, and look more blue than they should. This is the opposite to the universe expanding where galaxies would appear to be moving away from the Earth, which we know due to "red shift". Andromeda would be the exception since it's directly moving towards the Milky Way.
i guess 7? or more than
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.
Google Earth offers a new feature called Sky Maps. It will allow you to navigate through the images of deep space relative to Earth's Position. You can also overlay a grid for distance and more in depth information of what you are looking at.
The earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy. There are estimates now that there could be more galaxies than there are grains of sand. Hundreds of billions at least.
There isn't a particular name, however, when they are moving towards us, their spectrum is shifted to the blue region. So they are referred to as blue shifted galaxies but that is only relative to ourselves. See related link for more information.
Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.
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.
Space has no gravity. Gravity needs a mass to exist, and it is relative to other neighbouring masses.
The Big Bang In more complex terms; the big bang was the creation of time and relative dimensions themselves. There was an explosion of cumulating heat and energy which created anomalies called 'Galaxies'. These Galaxies slowly spread further apart deadspace. which then obviously isn't dead anymore because it's populated with more planets and stars and stuff. Answer By Grant D, Aged 13
15 Galaxies? There are over 1,000,000,000 galaxies possibly more.
Yes, there are many galaxies in the universe. Some of the others are visible from earth.
