The further a galaxy is away from us the faster it's moving away from us.

What is the maximum recession velocity of the galaxy observed?

Some of the furthest galaxies are believed to be "travelling" faster than the speed of light. They are not actually "travelling" faster than the speed of light, but creating space, faster than the speed of light.


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.


The spectra of most galaxies show redshifts this means that their spectral lines are what?

The spectral lines of galaxies are redshifted, indicating that they are moving away from Earth. This redshift is typically a result of the expansion of the universe, causing galaxies to move further apart.


In which direction are mostly all galaxies moving?

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.


What did Edwin Hubble due to help prove the Big Bang Theory?

Edwin Hubble played a crucial role in providing evidence for the Big Bang Theory by observing the redshift of galaxies. He discovered that galaxies were moving away from each other, and the farther away they were, the faster they were moving. Hubble's observations supported the idea that the universe is expanding, which is a key component of the Big Bang Theory.

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.


How does the galaxies move in the universe?

The general tendency is for galaxies to move away from one another - the further apart they are, the faster they move away from one another. In other words, the Universe is expanding. Galaxies also have some "random" proper movement, which can be thought of as superimposed on this general expansion.


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.


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.


Which galaxies appear to move away the fastest?

Those that are already farthest from us do.The farther they are from us, no matter in which direction, the faster they're receding from us.The general tendency is that galaxies that are farther from us move away from us faster.


What is red shift inti?

When galaxies move away from us, the waves of light stretch out- ie, they become redder. The greater the red shift, the faster the galaxies are moving away from us.


Are any Galaxies moving away at half the speed of light or faster?

Yes. The farthest known galaxies move away from us faster than the speed of light. While this is not possible for nearby objects, in this case space itself is expanding.


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.


How does the objects in space move away from the universe?

Objects in space are moving away from each other due to the expansion of the universe. This expansion causes galaxies and other celestial bodies to drift apart over time. The further away an object is, the faster it appears to be moving away from us.


Why are is the furthest star still getting further away?

On the you tube. the galaxies are getting further away except Andromeda Galaxy. Most stars are now getting further because EX Andromeda galaxy will kill milky way and the other galaxies, the galaxies ran away carrying their ball.

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.
