What is happening to the distance between galaxies because of the big bang?
The distance is getting larger as the universe expands.
How many galaxies found in the universe?
The observable Universe has somewhere around 1011 galaxies. The entire Universe is much larger than the observable Universe, but currently, it is not known exactly how much larger. It might be infinite in size, but in any case, it is estimated that the Universe is a lot larger than the observable Universe.
How many galaxies can fit into a universe?
It is estimated that there are about 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. However, the total number of galaxies in the entire universe could be much larger and currently unknown. The universe is vast and constantly expanding, so the exact number of galaxies it can hold is difficult to determine.
Is the Milky Way the biggest in the universe?
No. There are many much larger galaxies in the Universe than the Milky Way.
If the hubble constant H is larger at great distances then what is happening?
An increasing Hubble constant at great distances indicates an accelerated expansion of the universe. This phenomenon is attributed to dark energy, a mysterious force causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate. It suggests that as the universe expands, the distance between galaxies grows larger, leading to a greater Hubble constant at greater distances.
Why do galaxies expand primarily on one plane as oppposed to all planes ie a plate instead of a sphere?
Because galaxies don't expand. The universe expands. Think of galaxies as little spots on a balloon. When you blow it up the surface gets larger not the little spots, but the spots do get further apart. Gravity creates the extreme flatness that you observe. Moments after the big bang the initial structure of the universe was set, that applies to the size of the galaxies as well. The only observable difference is the galaxies were a lot closer to each other in the beginning. Gravity then took over and started effecting the closest galaxies by pulling them closer together. The galaxies face a battle between the expanding universe and the gravity of other galaxies.
How do you do all the redshifts on the 100 billion galaxies in the universe?
You don't. That's way too much. You just get the redshift of a sample of galaxies. As a clarification, the current estimate is about 170 billion galaxies - and that refers to the "observable Universe". The entire Universe is expected to be much larger than that (and have many more galaxies), but those can never be observed.
Which is larger galaxy or stars?
A larger galaxy can be 10 times brighter than the milky way.The larger galaxies in the universe are the giant elliptical galaxies.These are larger egg-shaped galaxies with trillion of stars.They can have diameter of 6 million light year across.
Is galaxy is bigger than the universe?
No, it's the other way. The OBSERVABLE Universe has roughly 10 to the power 11 galaxies; the entire Universe is believed to be much, much larger, though nobody knows for sure how large exactly.
Which is larger Milky Way or universe?
-- The Milky Way is one of several billion galaxies in the universe. -- The term 'universe' means "Everything ... all things, all space, and all time". -- Considering either of these factoids, it becomes apparent that the universe is larger than the Milky Way.
Is the universe in the milkyway?
The Milky Way is a galaxy that contains our solar system. The universe is much larger and contains billions of galaxies, of which the Milky Way is just one.
Does Every Galaxy Merge Eventually?
The answer to this is we do not know but it looks unlikely.The expansion of the universe appears to be speeding up. Local Galaxies might merge into larger galaxies but these galaxies will expand faster and faster away from each other.
