Actually, most galaxies are all moving away from all other galaxies, not just from ours. The exception is the Andromeda galaxy, with which the Milky Way is on a collision course.

Is the consellation Big Dog in the Milky Way Galaxy?

The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).


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.


When all galaxies are moving away from us we must be located at the center of the universe?

The observation that galaxies are moving away from us is a result of the expansion of the universe, not because we are at its center. The universe is expanding uniformly, which means that every galaxy sees other galaxies moving away from it, regardless of its position. This phenomenon is described by the Big Bang theory and the cosmological principle, which states that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. Therefore, no specific location can be considered the center of the universe.


Why do galaxies spin in different directions?

Most, but not all, spiral galaxies rotate in the same direction - clockwise as seen from Earth.Some, like the Black Eye Galaxy, have an inner region that rotates in the opposite direction to the outer region.


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.

In which direction are nearby all galaxies moving relative to earth?

Nearly all galaxies are moving away from our galaxie and planet.


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 is nearly all galexies moving in?

Nearly all galaxies in the universe are moving away from each other due to the expansion of the universe. This is known as the expansion of the universe or Hubble expansion.


What do all active galaxies have in common?

In theory, all galaxies originate from the Big Bang, which is the name that describes the explosion that propelled all matter into the cosmos. All galaxies are moving. All galaxies produce energy like light and gravity. Think of galaxies like you would human beings. Although very different in some ways, they are mostly the same.


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.


What did Edwin hubble notice about the direction of movement of galaxies in space?

Edwin Hubble noticed that galaxies are moving away from us in all directions. This observation led to the conclusion that the universe is expanding, which is now known as Hubble's Law.


Are the different galaxies in your universe moving and if so in which direction?

No matter in which direction we look, all of the galaxies outside of our "local cluster"are moving away from the earth. And get this ... the farther a galaxy already isfrom us, the faster it's moving away from us.It looks as if we're in the center of everything, and everything is spreading out andmoving away from us. On the other hand, no matter where in the universe an observer might be, it would appear to them that they were at the center, and everything was moving away from them.


What motion do the stars in the milky way galaxy move?

The stars in the Milky Way move in the opposite direction of the sun.


How all galaxies are similar?

they all contain billions of stars that orbit the center of the galaxy. all galaxies are also moving very slow.


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.


Is this true an elliptical galaxy has mostly old stars?

Both - all galaxies contain young and old stars.


What observation of the light from galaxies shows that nearly all galaxies are moving away from us?
