Most galaxies have a red shift away from us - meaning they are moving away from us. However, the Andromeda galaxy has a blue shift, which means it is moving towards us. In about 2.5 billion years time, the two galaxies will merge.
I would think that current evidence suggests that the stars moving away from earth, some of them in far distant galaxies moving at unimaginably high speeds, are going much faster than stars moving toward us. The entire Andromeda galaxy is moving toward us and will collide with us in roughly 5 billion years, and it is not moving anywhere near as fast as the distant retreating galaxies.
Mainly that galaxies that are very far away (i.e., from the distant past) look different to galaxies that are near-by (from the more recent past).
Not in the near future. Other galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years away; travelling at the speed of light, it would thus take millions of years to travel to most galaxies; travelling at a lower speed would, of course, take longer.Not in the near future.

Most of them. except for Andromeda galaxy which is coming towards us - our Milky Way galaxy and they both will collide in 3-4 billion years(Repetition of ''Big Bang'')
Plate tectonics, rotation, and gravitational pull of the Sun, shift the Earth slightly, so that the Earth bulges near the Equator.
a way away from south Africa no where near island but practically near madagascaer
It always faces away from the earth
This is deduced from the expansion of the Universe. Far-away galaxies recede (go away) from us, with such a speed, that they must have been near us about 14 billion years ago.
The moon is much closer to the earth that the sun. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away.
The closest ones near our galaxy.
near giant elliptical galaxies.
With current technology, it isn't even possible to send them to other stars. They are simply too far away. To travel to other galaxies near the speed of light (with some so-far hypothetical technology) would take over a hundred thousand years, to the nearest dwarf galaxies, and about 3 million years to the Andromeda galaxy. In that case, for the astronomers only a short time might pass (due to time dilation), but when they return to Earth, hundreds of thousands (or millions) of years will have elapsed on Earth.
