    Stars within galaxies are distributed relatively evenly, but galaxies themselves are clustered throughout the universe in knots, filaments, and walls rather than being evenly spaced. While the early universe was very uniform, the gravitational pull of denser regions caused matter to accumulate unevenly over billions of years, resulting in the large-scale structure of galaxy clusters we observe today.

    Stars are evenly distributed throughout the galaxy?

    ● Are they regularly distributed or Randomly distributed?


    ● the Universe started off extremely uniform
    ● if we want to measure the departures in space from uniformity, we could
    when the Universe was only about 0.0028% of its current age
    ● Galaxies are located in loose but larger clusters on larger scales. On even
    larger scales, galaxies are located in knots, filaments, and walls.
    ● collected into large clusters of galaxies
    ● apparent velocity of our local group of galaxies is quite large, around 600
    km/sec.
    ● all the various galaxies we see are also moving with "peculiar" motion,
    meaning simply a movement relative to the overall background of the
    universe
