How many other small galaxies are there in the Andromeda galaxy?

What hold the local group together?
Gravity holds the local group of galaxies together.
What is the name for a group of stars bound together by gravity?
Our local group of galaxies is bound by gravity, although the large and small magellanic clouds nearby are moving fast enough they are probably just passing through. Our entire local group is also moving towards another big group of galaxies known as "the Great Attractor," which itself is bound by gravity. There are numerous clusters of galaxies bound by gravity throughout the hundred billion galaxies in our universe.
Is there gravity in outer space?
Yes, gravity exists in outer space. Gravity holds the moon in its orbit around the earth. It holds the earth in orbit around the sun. It holds the milky way galaxy together. It holds the local group of galaxies together. And the local group of galaxies might be a group of a string of galaxies held together by the great attractor.
Is a galaxy a large group of stars?
Yes. The smallest galaxies may contain just a few million stars. Large galaxies like our own, the Milky Way, contain between 200 and 400 billion stars. The largest galaxies are Ellipticals, and may contain as many as 50 trillion stars.
Is a local group a group of galaxies?
Yes. Our local group of galaxies is made up of 3 larger galaxies (milky-way, Andromeda and M33) and several smaller or dwarf galaxies.
Your galaxy is a part of a group What is the name of the group and the two galaxies in it?
The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".
What is the name for a group of galaxies?
A group of galaxies is called a galaxy cluster or galaxy group.
A what is agroup of galaxies?
A group of galaxies is called a cluster.
How do you use Local Group in a sentence?
We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.
The local group contains mainly spiral galaxies?
No. It has only 3 big spiral galaxies, but dozens of dwarf galaxies.
What is the name of the group of galaxies the milky way is part of?
local group
What group of galaxies is the earth in?
A small cluster called the 'local group'
What group of galaxies is earth?
the milky way
What are group of galaxies called?
binary systems
Are there galaxies in the milky way?
The Milky Way is our galaxy, the are no other galaxies within it though we are part of a local group of galaxies.
What are the other galaxies accept Milky Way?
The observable Universe has at least a hundred billion galaxies. The galaxies closest to us are part of the so-called "Local Group" (that is, the group that includes our galaxy); this Local Group includes our own galaxy (i.e., the Milky Way), the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 50 dwarf galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. Then, of course, there are hundreds or thousands of galaxies "near-by" as distances between galaxies go, but outside of our Local Group.
