I don't know if this has been posed before or if anyone can help but I love astronomy, I love the beautiful pictures the mind boggling scenarios and the face that when you look at a galaxy, of which there are billions upon billions (i would imagine) that you are probably looking at (through default) millions of stars that have orbiting planets that contain life whether primitive or intelligent.
My question is, that with all the beautiful images available, how come there is no real time footage of a galaxy moving that can be found? im sure they move im sure i read that they do. surely there are galaxies far enough away that they can be observed moving clockwise or counter-clockwise? is this even possible, i.e are galaxies so big that their rate of movement looks sooooo slow? I dunno. I just want to see it.
