See "related links" for a list of some important ones.
The Hubble Space Telescope alone has observed thousands, and that was just by looking at a very small patch of the sky.
There are actually millions that could be observed if we had time to do it.
In fact, astronomers calculate that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies.
In theory many of them could be observed and the number we can see will increase as our technology improves.
What else can I help you with?
How many galaxies have life in them?
It is not known and never will be known. Other galaxies are too far away for us to find if they have life in them. So far earth is the known only place in the universe to hold life.
How deep is space and how many galaxies are there?
So far we have not discovered any limits to space, to just seems to go on forever. As for galaxies, milllions of them have been counted, and those are only the ones we can see.
What are the galaxies found in the universe?
There are far too many to count or name
What are the galaxies in the whirlpool galaxy?
There is not much solid information known about planets in other galaxies. Most planets discovered so far are in our own galaxy. This is because it is easier to discover a relatively near-by planet than one that is much farther away. However, the planets found so far make it likely that in our own Milky Way, and therefore other galaxies as well, have at least as many planets as stars.
Is the size of galaxies or the space between each galaxy larger?
The space in between galaxies is far larger than the galaxies themselves.
How far does the galaxys go for?
There are more and more galaxies for as far as we can see.
How far are galaxies?
quintillions of miles away.
What is the main reason why people have not been able to travel to other galaxies?
I suppose you might say that the main reason is they're incredibly far away! We haven't even gotten to other planets yet, and you're wondering about galaxies? The nearest other galaxies are so far away it takes even light 150,000 years to get there!
How many galaxies are in each of the 88 constellations?
There are at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, so there are at least 1.14 billion galaxies in each one of the 88 constellations in the sky.
Why do scientist study the light coming from distant galaxies?
They study distant galaxies because they want to know whats out in other galaxies and how many planets it has
What do you expect to find in the other galaxies?
Maybe life on planets far far away!
What pairs of objects are the farthest apart?
The pair of objects that are the farthest apart in the universe are galaxies. Galaxies are clusters of billions of stars and are separated by vast distances in the universe. The observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter, so galaxies within it can be incredibly far apart.
