Their certainly are! check this out  This is the deep field image the deepest look we have taken into our universe, this means its also picture of the younger universe but just look at all the other galaxies

Oh yeah! there's more galaxies in the Universe than there is star in the Milky Way galaxy! (There's around 400 million stars in the Milky Way...)

Ninniku Shiroi any information about these galaxies? Unfortunately we don't know much about them, because they're so far away from us. We do know that there are a few dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (Small Magellan Cloud, Large Magellan Cloud, and a few others). We also know whether they are heading towards us (like Andromeda and the dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way) or getting away from us (like most galaxies do...)

This is the Zodiac speaking...
It is believe there are an estimated 100+ billion galaxies in the known universe. ( Source: http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~gmackie/billions.html )
So yeah, there's more than just two.
We're like a galactic grain of sand on a wide, wide stretch of cosmic beach.
...that is all.

Is there just two galaxies , you say? Of course not! There's all the galaxies that the others talked about, plus gazilions, trillions, an infinity more! You could never count how many galaxies there were, because if we had advanced enough technology to do it, it would take, like, FOREVER, plus after we'd be done, the universe would expand even larger and new galaxies would be created, and old ones would die, and so we could never be exactly sure how many galaxies in existence. Also it would be impossible with our technology to count all the galaxies in other universes. In our galaxy cluster, the Local Group, there is approximately 100 billion galaxies. And it's not a big cluster, either! (Imagine the biggest eek ).

LOVE this picture. By looking at it you instantly know why people say that the Universe is like a jewellery box with lots of gems inside. When I see 'Milky Way' and 'Andromeda' in one sentence I immediately think about 'Milkomeda', as a result of a recent TV show I've seen. It said that those two galaxies would crash and create a new, elliptical galaxy. The theory said that when two galaxies crash, they form an elliptical one. It leads to my question: do lenticular and irregular galaxies form in the same way? I assume that spiral and barred spiral galaxies create themselves.

It's supposed to happen in a few million years. Too bad we won't be around to witness it... As for galaxy formation, I read that galaxy collisions usually create an irregular one.
