I will take the question to relate to the Milky Way. This is taken from the following website article altered in late 2007. http://www.seds.org/messier/glob.html " The distribution of the globular clusters in our Milky Way galaxy is concentrated around the galactic center in the Sagittarius -- Scorpius -- Ophiuchus region: Of the 138 Milky Way globulars listed in the Sky Catalog 2000, these constellations contain 29, 18, and 24 globulars, respectively, so a total of 71 clusters, or 51.4 percent (though one must admit that of the 29 clusters listed in Sagittarius, probably four are members of the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy discovered 1994, and not really of the Milky Way, among them M54; however, these are in process to be integrated into the Milky Way's halo). Current counting (June 2002) brings these numbers to 33, 19 and 25 globulars in Sagittarius, Scorpius and Ophiuchus, respectively, thus a total of 77 clusters of a total of 151, or 51.0 percent. Of the 88 constellations, only 43 or about half contain any globular cluster at all; Aquila follows with 7, Serpens with 5, Hercules and Ara with 4 clusters each, and no further constellation contains more than 3. Of the 151 known clusters, 138 (91.4 percent) are concentrated in the hemisphere centered on Sagittarius, while only 13 globulars (8.6 percent) are on the opposite side of us (among them M79). Of these 13, four (including M79) are suspected to be members of the remnant globular cluster system of the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy discovered in 2003, which again is going to be integrated into the Milky Way's Galactic Halo. "
Galaxies in the universe have different names based on their shape and structure. Some common types of galaxies include spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Each type has its own unique characteristics and features.
The universe is a vast and complex system that consists of stars, planets, galaxies, dark matter, and dark energy. It is organized into a cosmic web structure, with galaxies clustered along filaments separated by voids. At the largest scales, the universe appears homogeneous and isotropic, following the principles of cosmological models such as the Big Bang theory.
Collisions or interactions between galaxies are believed to be the cosmic accidents that can lead to the formation of many irregularly shaped galaxies. These interactions can trigger bursts of star formation and distort the shape of galaxies, resulting in the formation of irregular shapes.
Astronomers study the Andromeda galaxy to learn more about how galaxies form and evolve, to understand the structure and composition of other galaxies beyond our own Milky Way, and to potentially gain insights into the future fate of our own galaxy.
The Mellaganic Clouds are two dwarf galaxies, satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way. They are "nearby" only to the extent that they are the closest galaxies to our own. Ferdinand Magellan, the leader of the first European voyage to circumnavigate the Earth, named them because they appeared to be permanent clouds in the southern sky. The Clouds aren't visible from Europe or North America.

a galaxies does not move that is why there are many stars
Not all galaxies have black holes in their centers, but many large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, are believed to have supermassive black holes at their centers.
Probably, but impossible to tell as we are only just seeing planets within our own galaxy.
Galaxies vary a lot in size, from dwarf galaxies that have a few hundred million stars, to huge galaxies with a hundred trillion stars. (That's a ratio of about 1 to a million.)Our own galaxy has somewhere between 200 and 400 billion stars. Actually, most galaxies are quite a bit smaller than our own galaxy, since dwarf galaxies occur in larger numbers.
Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.
Say about 100 billion in our own galaxy, then about 100 billion galaxies.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is itself a galaxy, made up of approx. 200 billion stars. There are no other galaxies within our own.
Not all galaxies have black holes. While many galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have supermassive black holes at their centers, there are also galaxies that do not have black holes. The presence of a black hole in a galaxy depends on various factors such as the size and age of the galaxy.
Galaxies are made partly of stars, which produce light. So, in that sense, yes.
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and our closest neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, are both spiral galaxies.
