Most of them. except for Andromeda galaxy which is coming towards us - our Milky Way galaxy and they both will collide in 3-4 billion years(Repetition of ''Big Bang'')

HCM-6A is a galaxy that was found in 2002 by a team led by Esther Hu from the University of Hawaii, using the Keck II Telescope in Hawaii. HCM-6A is located behind the Abell 370 galactic cluster, near M77 in the constellation Cetus, which enabled the astronomers to use Abell 370 as a gravitational lens to get a clearer image of the object.

HCM-6A was the farthest object known at the time of its discovery. It exceeded SSA22−HCM1 (z=5.74) as the most distant normal galaxy known, and quasar SDSSp J103027.10+052455.0 (z=6.28) as the most distant object known. In 2003, SDF J132418.3+271455 (z=6.578) was discovered, and took over the title of most remote object known, most remote galaxy known, and most remote normal galaxy known.

We might call galaxies moving away from earth retreating galaxies. Almost all galaxies move away from Earth, or more properly, from the Milky Way, our home galaxy.

Anything that is moving away appears redder than it is. This is called red shift. All galaxies are moving away from each other so all galaxies appear red.

How do other galaxies move more relative to earth?

Away.


What type of galaxy moves away from Earth?

That has nothing to do with the "type"; it is how far they are away from Earth. Due to the general expansion of the Universe, galaxies that are far way from us systematically move away from us - the farther away, the faster. It is only nearby galaxies which may happen to move towards us.


What did astronomers Edwin Hubble discover that led to the formulation of his law?

Basically, his discovery was that most galaxies move away from us; and that the galaxies that are farther away, also tend to move away faster.


When viewed from earth the light from very distant galaxies shows a red shift evidence that these distant galaxies moving towards or away from earth?

The "redshift" refers to the fact that the light is less energetic than when it was emitted; it shows that the galaxies move away from us. Should a galaxy move towards us - which is possible only for galaxies that are relatively close to us - then there would be a blueshift.


What Doppler shift do galaxies show?

Some nearby galaxies move towards us (blueshift), some move away from us (redshift). Galaxies that are farther away all move away from us (redshift); this means that the Universe is expanding.


What imporatant observation did Edwin Hubble make about the movement of galaxys'?

That most galaxies move away from us; and that the general tendency is that galaxies that are farther away move away from us faster.


What best describes how most galaxies generally move?

Galaxies generally move away from one another.


How do the distant galaxies ussually move?

Away from us.


What directions do galaxies move?

Most move away from us, and each other.


Are different galaxies moving in your universe if so in which direction?

Most galaxies move away from us - the farther they are from us, the faster they move away from us. This means that the Universe is expanding.


Do galaxies move away form one another?

Yes !


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.
