What else can I help you with?
Nearby galaxies may not show a redshift?
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.
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.
How do the speeds at which most nearby galaxies are moving away from the earth compare to the speeds of distant galaxies that are moving away from earth?
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.
Are any Galaxies moving away at half the speed of light or faster?
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.
Why isn't the look-back time important among nearby galaxies?
Galaxies change very slowly.
What other galaxies do you have in unniverse?
For a start, look up "Local Group" in the Wikipedia. This will show you a list of nearby galaxies.
Is it possible that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while is it at rest?
Yes. For example, if you are sitting on a train that is at rest, but there is a train on the next track that is moving, it may appear that you are moving.
Which astronomer argued that the milky way is huge and other galaxies are merely small nearby companions?
Shapley is the astronomer that argued that the milky way is huge and other galaxies are merely small nearby companions.
Are distant galaxies moving away slower or faster than nearby galaxies?
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.
What is the name of a nearby galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud are two nearby dwarf galaxies. Two larger galaxies that are still part of our local group are the Andromeda Galaxy (a.k.a. M31), and the Triangulum Galaxy. All of the above-named galaxies can be seen with the naked eye.
