The galaxy seemed to produce too damned many of them.

Some galaxies seem to be grouped together.

Astronomers said the distant galaxies seemed to be smaller than those from more recent epochs.

The galaxies seem to be flying outward at velocities that increase with distance.

Sometimes the whole galaxy seemed to reverberate with a sob of pain, a moan of anguish.

Those other galaxies, other islands of stars, seem to be as barren as this one.

"The galaxy doesn't seem to be a very friendly place these days, does it?"

Another intriguing result, she said, is that red galaxies seem to be more clustered and organized than blue ones in the early universe.

Measurements are now good enough to allow astronomers to tell that these galaxies seem to be accelerating away from us.

And the farther away a galaxy seemed to be, the greater the red shift.
