In fact, most galaxies are moving away from all the other galaxies in the universe. Think in terms of expansion. There is no clearly identifiable central spot from which everything emanated, but the galaxies are clearly expanding away from one another. There are occasional collisions of galaxies; we will collide with Andromeda at some point perhaps millions of years from now. This is because there are clusters of galaxies which seem to clump together, orbit around each other and otherwise interact.

What is after the milky way?
After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.
What was Edwin Hubble the first to discover in 1925?
In 1925, Edwin Hubble discovered that there are other galaxies beyond our Milky Way. He also observed that these galaxies were moving away from us, leading to the discovery of the expansion of the universe.
Relationship of red shift and the big bang theory?
The Big Bang theory predicts an expanding universe. The red shift, being the Doppler effect of light when something is receding from you, confirms this because when looking at galaxies the light emitted from them is red shifted. The farther away galaxies have a higher red shift, confirming that all galaxies are moving away from each other, not just the Milky Way (i.e. the universe is expanding).
What is bigger the milky way or the universe?
The Universe. The Milky Way is equivalant of an atom of sand on the beach to the Earth as the Milky Way is to the Universe.Yes. The universe is everything in existence. The Milky Way is but a microscopic part of the universe.
Who was the scientist that discovered these distant galaxies?
The scientist who discovered distant galaxies is Edwin Hubble. In the 1920s, Hubble observed that galaxies were moving away from us, leading to the formulation of Hubble's Law, which describes the expansion of the universe. His work fundamentally changed our understanding of the cosmos and established galaxies as separate entities beyond the Milky Way.
Is the milky way galaxy growing with the universe too?
No, the growth of the universe is caused by the galaxies moving away from each other, with no relation to their size.
Are there galaxies other than the Milky Way?
There are billions of galaxies in the Universe.
Who is the 20th Century astronomer proved that the universe contained a multitude of galaxies that were moving away from the Milky Way?
william herschel
Is the Milky Way the biggest in the universe?
No. There are many much larger galaxies in the Universe than the Milky Way.
What shows the galaxies expanding?
Yes ...why.. well there is a theory that once the universe was as small as a match's red head? i don't know what it's called what ever...so when that bead explodes and it expands. and scientists believe that it keeps expanding. Another question you should ask your self is if that the universe was that small what was around it? answer it cause i wanna know and hope this helps!
What is after the milky way?
After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.
is the milky way one of the many galaxies in space?
Yes - the Milky Way is just one example of the billions of galaxies in the Universe.
Is the universe in the milkyway?
..What..? The univere is EVERYTHING, including the milky way galaxy.
Is the milky way a universe?
No. The Milky Way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the Universe. Just like there are billions of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, there are also comparable numbers of planets in other 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.
How many milky way galaxies end on end to the edge of the universe?
If the milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years across and if the universe is 13 billion years old, you would have 130,000 milky way galaxies, end on end to the edge of the universe.
Are there more galaxies than the milky way galaxy?
Yes. The Milky Way is just one galaxy. There are billions of galaxies in the known universe.
