Remember, everything is relative. Hence, there is no such thing as an absolute speed - a speed must always be specified in relation to something.

From observations of large amounts of galaxies near us, it seems that we are moving with a speed of about 600 km/sec. Note that this is just the speed in relationship to nearby, or observable, objects. A speed compared to "the Universe" doesn't really make much sense.

Speed in kps of the milky way galaxy through the universe?

Any such speed must be specified with relation to something: for example, with relation to the Andromeda Galaxy, the average of the Local Group, of the Local Supergroup, etc. There is no such thing as an "absolute speed".


How fast are the farthest outer galaxy's traveling from the center of the universe.?

There is no such thing as the "center of the Universe". It is believed that the Universe looks the same from different places, there is no way to determine a "center". The farthest observable galaxies move away from us, at several times the speed of light.


How long would it take to get to Andromeda Galaxy from earth in minutes?

It would take over 2.5 million years to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy from Earth at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in the universe. No known technology is capable of traveling that fast, so it is currently impossible to make the journey in minutes.

Can you come out of a galaxy?

With current technology, that's not possible. At the speed of light, it would take you tens of thousands of years to leave our galaxy. The speed of light seems to be a speed limit in the Universe, and current technology is nowhere near travelling the speed of light.


How many miles an hour is earth traveling through the universe?

The question cannot be answered because you need a fixed reference point against which to measure the speed (or velocity) of the earth through the universe. What would this be? The sun (or centre of the solar system)? But that travels round the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. The centre of Milky Way? But that travels around the centre of our local cluster. The centre of our local cluster? No, because that travels round ... and so on.


How do you travel through the universe?

You had better travel near the speed of light or you will not see much of the universe. Unfortunately travelling near the speed is not yet possible, so you are out of luck.


How long would it take to travel to another galaxy at the speed of light?

Traveling to another galaxy at the speed of light would take an incredibly long time. The closest galaxy to us, the Andromeda galaxy, is about 2.5 million light-years away. This means it would take 2.5 million years to reach Andromeda at the speed of light.
