Galaxies
Galaxies are large systems of stars and interstellar matter, and they contain billions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has 200 to 400 billion stars, and there are over one billion known galaxies. Questions that have to do with galaxies in general and specific galaxies are perfect for this category!

An E0 galaxy, is part of the Hubble definitions for galaxies.
E = Elliptical. 0 = It's shape - in this case like a round football (Soccer)

How does the milky way come out at night?
The Milky Way is always there, day or night. The bending of light through space is how we see it, but we can only see it or see it the best if the sky is clear (light or no clouds) and has only light pollution. Heavy clouds, rain, heavy pollution, as well as city lights can interfere with humans being able to see anything in the night sky.
Why is the farthest galaxy the fastest moving?
Red shift. An expanding universe.
Although, it may not be that simple. Check out thunderbolts.info for some interesting alternate perspectives.
Why are supermassive galaxies often found at the cores of rich galaxy clusters?
Because they have the most mass
What to find in other galaxies?
Probably more or less the same things that you will find in our own galaxy.
How do you beat the zone defense other than getting down the floor first or jump shots?
== == == == Remember these words: Attack the middle of the zone. Once the ball gets into the middle of the zone, the zone has been broken down, and operate from there.
You pass it around until the defense makes a mistake or have someone drive to the hoop and so the defense will follow and then have him dish it off to a guard to pop a j
Where is yildun star in the little dipper?
Delta Ursae Minoris is a star in the constellation Ursa Minor (little dipper).
It is the second star down from Polaris in the "handle" [See link]
Large Spiral Galaxy. This is because they contain more of the OB stars that are required for a supernova event.
Elliptical galaxies tend to be older and have more low mass stars and are not as common as spiral galaxies.

Is galaxy a group of stars bound together by gravity?
The stars move. Everything in the universe is moving, including our sun. The sun is in one arm of the Milky Way Galaxy that is moving around the center of the galaxy, like everything else that's in it. The galaxies themselves are moving away from each other, and if current analysis is correct, their movement away from each other is accelerating. There is not a single thing in the universe that can be thought of as stationary. Actually, the truth is, Stars actually DO move, but very slowly. See, since they are so far away, you won't see them 'move'. If they were closer, then perhapes you would see them move faster. This is why we see different constellations throught the year. As for the Sun, it does infact move. It moves around the Milky Way in an almost circular orbit. The Sun actually completes one revolution in about 230 million years.
the sun doesn't move but the stars do, very very slowly.
In which direction do most constellations move.?
THE CONSTELLATIONS DON'T MOVE. THE EARTH DOES AND THAT IS WHY WE HUMANS THINK IT'S MOVING WHEN THEY ARE NOT.
Who are the casts of armageddon?

Are there any life forms on other galaxies?
We don't know - the closest galaxy to us is 2.2 million light years away.
What are galaxies generally classified by?
By classified do you mean genre then it is outer space,planets,stars,suns,moons etc. :}
Using the drake equation what are the chances of life in the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy?
N - o - n - e
________________________________
50/50; there either is, or there isn't. At this point, anything more precise depends on guesswork. The problem with the Drake Equation is that it is so dependent on factors for which we have no solid information.
Why are the stars smaller than the moon?
Stars are smaller than the moon because they are further away. They're not actually smaller, its just because they are so far away. Stars are actually very large.
What is another name for the IC 1101 galaxy?
IC 1101 is a supergiant lenticular galaxy at the center of the Abell 2029 galaxy cluster.
It has no other names apart from catalog designations of UGC 9752 and PGC 54167
