There are maps of nearby regions of the Universe - the parts that we can see. It is very likely that there are parts of the Universe that are so far away that we can never reach them nor see them, even with the best of instruments.

How time is affected between the galaxies as there is no mass there?

In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.


Irregular galaxies are different from elliptical and spiral galaxies because?

Because irregular galaxies have no definite shape.


What determines the shape of a galaxy?

That is related to their past history. Many galaxies have undergone collisions with other galaxies; this takes out most of the interstellar gas, and the galaxies can no longer form new stars. If I remember correctly, such galaxies will change into elliptical galaxies.That is related to their past history.

Do galaxies emit light?

Yes galaxies emit light


Three quarters of all known galaxies are what galaxies?

That is a difficult question to fully answer as types of galaxies are not fully defined. A ball park figure would be dwarf galaxies, or spiral galaxies depending on the area in question. See related question for a full breakdown.
