Scientists believe there is a substance which they have not been able to identify as being black matter. This substance is supposed to occupy all open space. However, scientists are still studying and investigating this theory.

How does distance between earth and sun compare to distance between earth and nearby stars and galaxies?
We measure distances between celestial objects (such as suns, planets, and galaxies) by a unit of measurement called "AU" which stands for, Astronomical Unit. One AU is the equivalent to 93 million miles, which is roughly the distance from earth to the sun. Let's compare that to the next closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light years away, or about 271,930 AUs! Distances are Immense.
How do the distances between inner planets compare to distances between the outer planets?
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
How is light years used in science measurement?
A light year is the distance light travels in a year. That is roughly 6,000,000,000,000 miles (six trillion miles). Thus such a unit is used only to measure the largest distances, those between stars and galaxies.
How do the distances between the inner planets compare?
These distances compare from a long distance but one that is not nearly as far as the distance between the outer planets.
How does red shift differ between galaxies close to us and ones which are further away?
Generally, the galaxies that are further away will have the larger red shifts.
How are distances between galaxies measured?
Light Years
Will astronomers measure all the distances of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe?
It is possible that someday astronomers will measure all the distances of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
Will astronomers measure all the distances of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?
Someday astronomers may have measured all the distances of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Do galaxies at very large distances look distorted?
True
How do must galaxies move as the universe grows?
all galaxies are constantly moving away from each other and are increasing in speed due to the lessening effect of gravity over the distances between galaxies and the theoretical dark energy which scientists have yet to prove the existance of
What lengths are most conveniently measured in astronomical units?
Stellar distances, like the distances of stars and galaxies from Earth
What are the estimated distances of the background galaxies of the NGC 5257 and 5258 galaxies?
Up to 13 billion light years away.
What are the estimated distances of the background galaxies of the PGC 1221 and 1224 galaxies?
up to 13 billion light years away.
What are the estimated distances of the background galaxies of the PGC 53432 and 53433 galaxies?
Up to 13 billion light years away.
What are the estimated distances of the background galaxies of the IC 694 and NGC 3690 galaxies?
up to 13 billion light years away.
Are most galaxies spread uniformly throughout the universe?
Yes, The Big Bang theory says all galaxies are moving outward and the universe is also expanding due to the explosion.
What is the relationship between the expanding universe and the distances between stars and galaxies?
This is mostly theory, Galaxies are made of billions of stars. For some reason Galaxy's hold on to their stars. We do not really understand how galaxy's can yet hold their form like this. Our math so far has trouble with making sense of this. When comparing one galaxy to another, size becomes so large words are hard to describe the distance of space. There is an an incredible amount of space between everything out there. What is the distance between galaxies, why is it there, The expanding universe is trying to explain the growing spaces between galaxies yet the galaxies appear to stay bound to themselves.
