yes . It is complicated. Think of our galaxy as one dimple in the middle of a Golf ball. It is surrounded by all the other dimples. Now, turn the ball over and select a new dimple. It WAS farthest away from us but now IT is in the middle and our galaxy is farthest away. Professional astronomers will tell you that each and every galaxy is in the middle of each and every other galaxy. I know this does not make much sense, but that is how it really is, to the best of our present knowledge...I told you it was complicated!
A group of galaxies is called a galaxy cluster or galaxy group.
No, the growth of the universe is caused by the galaxies moving away from each other, with no relation to their size.
There are billions of galaxies. Most stars are born in one galaxy but others are pulled in by the huge gravitational forces of the black hole in the centre.
By virtue of their name, dwarf galaxies are smaller. Most galaxies are dwarf galaxies.
The universe contains countless galaxies, think of the universe as a galaxy of galaxies.
Interacting galaxies are the first type of peculiar galaxies.
The universe contains countless galaxies, think of the universe as a galaxy of galaxies.
Universe is describing the galaxies. There are different galaxies and our galaxy is called Milky Way Galaxy. There are some other galaxies miles away from ours.
Earth belongs to the Milky Way galaxy, which is a spiral galaxy containing billions of stars. The Milky Way is part of the Local Group, a collection of galaxies that includes the Andromeda galaxy among others. The Local Group is itself part of the Virgo Supercluster, a large cluster of galaxies in the observable universe.
There are at least 27 known dwarf galaxies orbiting the Andromeda galaxy. These small galaxies are gravitationally bound to Andromeda and are much smaller in size and mass compared to the main galaxy.
Yes, there are many galaxies in the universe. Some of the others are visible from earth.
Our galaxy is one of the billions of other galaxy known as the spiral galaxy. Our galaxy is one of a dozen galaxies that comprises what is known as the local group.
