How do you use Local Group in a sentence?
We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.
Can two galaxies combine together?
Galaxies do combine or merge together. In about 4.5 -> 5.5 billion years time time, the Andromeda Galaxy will combine with our galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy. In a lot of cases Irregular Galaxies are believed to have formed with interactions with other galaxies. See related link for a picture of two galaxies merging.
What things move apart from each other?
Tectonic plates, galaxies in the universe, and expanding balloons are examples of things that move apart from each other.
Are there planets inside of galaxies?
Yes. Our own solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. Thousands of other systems with planets have been discovered in our galaxy. The number of planets in our galaxy alone prbably numbers in the billions.
What affect does the big bang have on the movement of galaxies?
Other than our local cluster of galaxies, all galaxies are speeding away from each other. The farther away the galaxy, the faster it is moving away. This seems to be contrary to gravitation effects and seems to be related to the "big bang" of 13 billion (or so) years ago.
If Two galaxies are interacting with each other what is the force that draws them toward each other?
The force that draws two interacting galaxies toward each other is gravity. Gravity is the fundamental force of attraction between all objects with mass, including galaxies. This force can cause galaxies to merge or distort their shapes when they get too close to each other.
Are Irregular galaxies are very large.?
Yes, they are usually of a similar size range to other types of galaxies, from a few thousand lightyears across to a million or more. Their formation is often as a result of two or more galaxies colliding, or coming close to each other.
What force draws two galaxies towards each other?
The force that draws two galaxies towards each other is gravity. The gravitational force between the two galaxies pulls them towards each other and can cause them to collide or interact.
What happens when two spiral galaxies collide with each other?
You tend to end up with irregular galaxies
How fast are galaxies moving away from each other in the expanding universe?
Galaxies in the expanding universe are moving away from each other at speeds proportional to their distance, with more distant galaxies moving faster. This phenomenon is known as the expansion of the universe.
Can galaxies orbit each other in space?
Yes, galaxies can orbit each other in space. This phenomenon is known as galactic interaction or galactic cannibalism, where the gravitational forces between two or more galaxies cause them to orbit around a common center of mass.
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.
How do you use Local Group in a sentence?
We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.
Are galaxys moving away from each other which means the universe is contracting?
No.More specifically:Not all galaxies are moving away from each other. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are moving towards each other (and at a pretty good clip, too: about 300 km/s). The entire "local group" of galaxies is moving in the general direction of something called the "Shapley Supercluster".Very distant galaxies do tend to be moving away from each other, but that means the universe is expanding, not contracting.
Does galaxies ever crash into each other?
Yes, some galaxies clide into each other because of the black holes that are in the middle of every galaxy.There has been a prediction that our galaxy will collide into another galaxy very close to us in about 3 million years.When the galaxies do collide into each other, they create a super nova.A super nova is a HUGE explosion of fire and flames.After the super nova, the 2 black holes in the middle of the galaxies will combine with each other and create an even BIGGER black hole.It's very interesting.Hope this helps.
What does it mean to say that galaxies are cannibals?
When galaxies are referred to as cannibals, it means that they can engulf smaller galaxies through gravitational interactions, merging with them and absorbing their stars, gas, and dust. This process of galactic cannibalism plays a significant role in the evolution and growth of galaxies over time.
What would it mean if galaxies were moving toward each other?
