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'')

∙ 11y agoHCM-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.

∙ 12y agoWe 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.

∙ 13y agoAnything 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.

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.
If a spaceship went into space from the earth did the spaceship move away from the earth or did the earth move away from the spaceship?
Both would probably move away from each other, because the earth moves too.
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.
Why is Edwin hubble famous?
Edwin Hubble proved that there are other galaxies spread throughout the universe, and that these galaxies move away from each other as the universe expands. He further found that the galaxies in the outermost areas of the universe move faster that those nearer the middle, a feature in his Hubble's Law.
Who discovered the galaxies exist outside the Milky Way?
The person who discovered the existence of galaxies outside of the milky way was Edwin Hubble. He also discovered that galaxies move away from each other with a constant acceleration, leading to the big bang theory.
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.
How do the distant galaxies ussually move?
Away from us.
What best describes how most galaxies generally move?
Galaxies generally move away from one another.
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.
