It is difficult to accurately measure the distances to other stars in our own galaxy, not to mention the distances to other galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy, of which our solar system is a tiny part, is a little bigger than the average, but not greatly so.

The nearest other galaxies to ours are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, which are dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.
