There are about 1011 (a 1, followed by 11 zeroes) galaxies in the known Universe. It is not currently known how much bigger the entire Universe is, compared to the known Universe.

What is the theory that the galaxies prove that the cosmos is not steady and unchanging?

The theory that suggests galaxies demonstrate the cosmos is not steady and unchanging is known as the Big Bang Theory. This theory posits that the universe began from a singular, extremely hot and dense state approximately 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. Observations of distant galaxies show that they are moving away from us, which supports the idea of an expanding universe. This expansion indicates that the cosmos is dynamic and has evolved over time, rather than being static.


Who was the scientist that discovered these distant galaxies?

The scientist who discovered distant galaxies is Edwin Hubble. In the 1920s, Hubble observed that galaxies were moving away from us, leading to the formulation of Hubble's Law, which describes the expansion of the universe. His work fundamentally changed our understanding of the cosmos and established galaxies as separate entities beyond the Milky Way.
