Yes, galaxies at very large distances can appear distorted due to gravitational lensing effects caused by the bending of light by massive objects. This distortion can elongate or warp the images of distant galaxies, altering their perceived shapes.

What is one way that an elliptical galaxy differs from the other types of galaxies?

Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.


If disorder increase with time why universe looks almost the same on a large scale in all directions?

Those two things are completely unrelated.The Universe looks the same in different directions.The Universe does NOT look the same at different distances. If you look at farther galaxies, in other words farther back in time, they look different than galaxies look now. If you look even further in time, at one time there weren't even any galaxies.Those two things are completely unrelated.The Universe looks the same in different directions.The Universe does NOT look the same at different distances.

When scientists look at very distant galaxies through powerful telescopes they see the galaxies as they were millions or billions of year ago Why is this?

The vast distances involved means that the light we see left those galaxies a long time ago.

How does the galaxy get bigger?

Galaxies get bigger by a process of merging. The gravitational attraction of the galaxy and the dark matter round it pull in satellite galaxies and these merge with the main galaxy. Eventually large galaxies merge to form large elliptical galaxies. look at the link below.


Are there other galaxies besides the Milky Way galxay?

Yes. Some examples of galaxies (which you can look up) are the: Andromeda Galaxy, the Large Magellanic cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud.


Which stars are actually a galaxy?

No stars are actually a galaxy. All stars are stars and all galaxies are galaxies. Stars are found in galaxies. Some galaxies look like tiny dots in our night sky, so might look like a star, but they are not stars; they are galaxies.


Do galaxies all look the same?

No.


Why do we measure the movement of stars?

We measure the movement of stars to study their motion within galaxies, determine their distances from Earth, and investigate their spectral shifts to learn about their composition and temperature. Studying the movement of stars also helps scientists understand the dynamics of galaxies and the evolution of the universe.


What shape is a magellanic cloud galaxie?

The large magellanic cloud galaxy has an irregular shape. It does not look like spiral and elliptical galaxies shown in pictures.


Why isn't the look-back time important among nearby galaxies?

Galaxies change very slowly.


Do a spoon reflection show you what you look like to others?

no the image is distorted
