It is the Canis major dwarf galaxy. It is 25,000 light years away from the sun.
As the closest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri is in our galaxy.
Hehehehehe , on valentines day
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy. It is the closest spiral galaxy to our own.
The closest irregular galaxy to us is the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is located around 163,000 light-years away from Earth. It is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and can be seen with the naked eye from the southern hemisphere.
Our galaxy is called the Milky way, but the closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.
It's because they are so far away. Even the closest one is 9000 times as far as Neptune. Going another 9,000 times further does not go as far as the centre of the galaxy.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large galaxy to us and is approximately 2.5 million light years away! The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is the closest galaxy of any size that we know of. It's about 70,000 light years from Earth, or about 50,000 light years from the galactic center, and orbits the Milky Way.
The closest galaxy to the Milky Way is the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy at 42000 light years from our galactic core. The Andromeda galaxy, often thought to be the closest, is 2.5 million light years away.
No. It is our closest neighboring galaxy.
the closest galaxy to us is Andromeda.
No, the Hubble Galaxy (Messier 31, or the Andromeda Galaxy) is not the closest major galaxy to our own. The Andromeda Galaxy is located about 2.537 million light-years from the Milky Way. The closest major galaxy to us is the Triangulum Galaxy (Messier 33), which is approximately 3 million light-years away.
Just about as far as the closest star in the Andromeda Galaxy. The diameter of the Andromeda galaxy is ... well, quite huge, but still relatively small, compared to the distance between us and the Andromeda Galaxy. And I believe this diameter may still be smaller than the uncertainty in the distance estimate!
