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'')

What observation did Edwin hubble make about the movement of galaxies?
In the late 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that most of the galaxies he observed were moving away from Earth.
What does red shift tell us about other galaxies?
It tells us that most galaxies are moving away from us.
What is the significance of red shift galaxies?
It means they are moving away from us.
Why do galaxies move away from the earth?
Our galaxy is expanding and according to the cosmological principle, the further away a galaxy is the faster it is moving away. The galaxies are not getting further apart because they are moving through space but because space itself is expanding. Like raisins in rising dough. The raisins themsleves are not moving away from the other raisins but the dough itself is expanding, so every raisin sees the other raisins moving away from it.
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
In which direction are nearly all galaxies moving relative to earth?
they are moving in all directions away, toward, sideways relative to EarthNearly all galaxies are moving away from the Earth. This is because the universe is expanding.
In which direction are nearby all galaxies moving relative to earth?
Nearly all galaxies are moving away from our galaxie and planet.
Do galaxies shift near or far away from earth?
Most galaxies have a red shift away from us - meaning they are moving away from us. However, the Andromeda galaxy has a blue shift, which means it is moving towards us. In about 2.5 billion years time, the two galaxies will merge.
How are galaxies moving today?
galaxies are movign further away from eachother
What observation did Edwin hubble make about the movement of galaxies?
In the late 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that most of the galaxies he observed were moving away from Earth.
What is the Doppler shift of galaxies?
It shows how galaxies are moving in relation to Earth.
What important observation did Edwin Hubble make about the movement of galaxies?
In the late 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that most of the galaxies he observed were moving away from Earth.
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.
Which has a higher frequency a star moving away from earth or towards earth?
I would think that current evidence suggests that the stars moving away from earth, some of them in far distant galaxies moving at unimaginably high speeds, are going much faster than stars moving toward us. The entire Andromeda galaxy is moving toward us and will collide with us in roughly 5 billion years, and it is not moving anywhere near as fast as the distant retreating galaxies.
How would other galaxies appear to move relative to Earth if the universe were shrinking?
If the Universe was shrinking the galaxies would appear to be moving towards the Earth, and look more blue than they should. This is the opposite to the universe expanding where galaxies would appear to be moving away from the Earth, which we know due to "red shift". Andromeda would be the exception since it's directly moving towards the Milky Way.
Are all galaxies moving away from ours because your galaxy is at the center of the universe?
Other galaxies are moving away because the universe is expanding, but we are not at the centre of the universe.
If light from galaxies is redshifted what can astronomers conclude about galaxies?
That the galaxy is moving away from us.
