The general tendency is for galaxies to move away from each other, in other words, the Universe is expanding. Only in our "immediate neighborhood" will you also find some galaxies that move towards us.

Can galaxies steal stars from one another?

Not generally, but galaxies do collide sometimes. In fact, the Andromeda Galaxy will probably collide with the Milky Way in about 3 billion years or so. In the collision, stars are often "flung" from one galaxy to the other, or thrown out of the original galaxy entirely. Follow the link below to see what happens when galaxies collide!


How does the galaxies move in the universe?

The general tendency is for galaxies to move away from one another - the further apart they are, the faster they move away from one another. In other words, the Universe is expanding. Galaxies also have some "random" proper movement, which can be thought of as superimposed on this general expansion.

What is the correlation function?

A random galaxy is used in the "Correlation function" [See Link] to describe the possibilities of another galaxy being found within a certain distance.Given a random galaxy in a location, the correlation function describes the probability that another galaxy will be found within a given distance.See related for types of galaxies.
