- 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.

How far away are Cancer's stars?
The closest (DX Cnc) is 11.8 lightyears away. The farthest is nearly 4000 lightyears away.
How are galaxies most commonly classified in the field of astronomy?
Well, isn't that just a delightful question! Galaxies, my oh my, they are commonly classified based on their shapes - things like spiral, elliptical, and irregular. It's like painting the stars with different brushstrokes, each one unique and special in its own way. Keep exploring the universe, there's so much beauty out there waiting to be discovered.
In which direction are nearby all galaxies moving relative to earth?
Nearly all galaxies are moving away from our galaxie and planet.
What observation of the light from galaxies shows that nearly all galaxies are moving away from us?
The Red Shift or Doppler effect
How are galaxies classified based on their characteristics?
Galaxies are classified based on their shape, size, and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have arms that spiral out from a central core, while elliptical galaxies are more rounded in shape. Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct shape. Additionally, galaxies can be classified based on their activity, such as active or passive galaxies.
Is the Milky Way 5.8 light-years from the farthest galaxies?
No, the farthest galaxies from the Milky way are nearly 100000000000000 light years away.
How are galaxies classified in the field of astronomy?
Galaxies are classified in astronomy based on their shape, size, and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have a central bulge with spiral arms, elliptical galaxies are oval-shaped with no distinct structure, and irregular galaxies have a chaotic shape. Additionally, galaxies can be further classified based on their activity level, such as active or passive galaxies.
Are some quasars nearly 13 billion light-years from earth?
Yes, there are some quasars that are nearly 13 billion light years from the earth.
What is the super-massive sturcture that exists in the middle of nearly all galaxies?
It is hypothesized that almost all galaxies have super massive black holes in their center.
How many galaxy's outside the milky way have been found?
The universe is made up of millions maybe even billions of galaxies to number them all would be impossible... ----- Estimates from the late 20th century indicate 200 billion to 400 billion galaxies. More recent indications are that these numbers are probably quite low. A computer simulation from a few years ago indicated 500 billion. New data indicates that the number of galaxies we fail to find in surveys are probably nearly ten times the number that we can. It seems as time goes by the number goes up, and this is only partly because we can see farther into the universe.
