How far is the Magellanic Cloud from Earth?
The Large Magellanic Cloud is about 160,000 light years away. The Small Magellanic Cloud is about 200,000 light years away.
What is the closest Large Magellanic cloud galaxy to ours.?
The Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way, located approximately 163,000 light-years away.
What galaxy is the closet large galaxy to the Milky Way?
The closest spiral galaxy to us is known as the Andromeda galaxy.The Large and Small Magellanic Cloud closer,but there not spiral galaxy there dwarf galaxies.The Andromeda galaxy is about 2,000,000 light years away,while the Large Magellanic Cloud is 160,000 light years away,and the Small Magellanic Cloud is 200,000 light years away.That is why the Large Magellanic Cloud looks larger.
How far is the milky way away from the large magellanic cloud?
No. The Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud are satellite galaxies, separate from the Milky Way. They were named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, the leader of the first European expedition to circumnavigate the Earth. The LMC and SMC are only visible south of the equator.
How far from earth is the large magellanic cloud galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby galaxy, once thought to be a satellite of our own. At a distance of slightly less than 50 kiloparsecs (≈157,000 light years), it is the third closest galaxy to our Milky Way Galaxy.
How many kilomaters away from earth is magellanic cloud?
There are two Magellanic clouds at distances of 160,000 and 200,000 light-years from the Earth. 1 light year is 9.46073E12 kilometres.
What are two irregular galaxies about 170000 light -years away from earth?
There are several small galaxies accompanying our Milky Way, at approximately that distance; the best-know are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, which can both be seen with the naked eye (if you live sufficiently towards the south).
What is the nearest galexy?
The nearest major galaxy is Andromeda which is only 2.5 million light years away. There are two dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way called the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud roughly 75,000 light years away.In about 2.5 billion years, Andromeda and the Milky Way will merge.
How many meters across would your field of view need to be to see the entire Milky Way and its two satellite galaxies?
To see the entire Milky Way galaxy and its two satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, your field of view would need to be at least 100,000 light-years across. This distance is much larger than what is measurable in meters, as the Milky Way is estimated to be about 100,000-120,000 light-years in diameter.
How many sentient species are in a fictionalized version of the Small Magellanic Cloud?
There are at least 3000 sentient species in a fictionalized version of the Small Magellanic Cloud (a dwarf barred irregular galaxy 200,000 light-years from Earth, and is 7000 light-years in diameter, and contains 3 billion stars (each star is orbited by an average of 9 planets and 170 moons; as well as asteroids and nebulae)).
What is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy?
The closest galaxy to our galaxy the Sagittarius galaxy but its Dwarf Galaxy, Andromeda is the Complete Galaxy and yet classified as the Galaxy which is closest to our galaxy. Facts : There are 12 Dwarf galaxies and 1 complete galaxy within the distance of 500,000 light years. Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards our galaxy at the speed 300,000 Kilometers per hour, but its so far that i would take millions of year to have a clash.
