Most people believe that all started with a big bang and all the pieces fall out and some of them form galaxies. Nowadays the Universe is still expanding
Stars, Planets, nebulae, galaxies.
Galaxies are the massive collection of stars. Therefore galaxies could not have formed without stars.
The best supporting evidence that the universe is expanding is that galaxies are receding from one another, indicating that the universe is expanding over time. This observation is based on the redshift of galaxies, known as Hubble's Law.
Gravity is crucial for the formation and structure of galaxies in our universe. It pulls together gas, dust, and stars, allowing them to clump together and form galaxies. Without gravity, galaxies would not be able to hold together and maintain their shape. Additionally, gravity plays a key role in the interactions between galaxies, influencing their movement and behavior within the universe.
All galaxies are massive clusters of stars scattered across the universe. Many galaxies take the same form, for instance, spiral and elliptical galaxies. Some galaxies also have a black hole in their center.
Mostly in galaxies, where they can form Super Massive Black Holes.

According to present knowledge and models of the Universe, the first galaxies could form when the Universe was less than 1 billion years old (it is now about 15 billion years old).
Over time - billions of years - galaxies will merge with other galaxies. In about 3 billion years, the Andromeda galaxy will merge with our own galaxy, the Milky Way.However, the separation between galaxies is so great, that not all galaxies will merge unless the fundamental issue of the amount of mass in the Universe is determined.If we live in a "contracting universe" then eventually all galaxies will merge.
Particles in the universe, such as hydrogen and helium, play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. These particles come together through gravity to form stars, which then group together to create galaxies. The interactions and movements of these particles shape the structure and behavior of galaxies over time.
