A nearby galaxy?
Horse Isle Answer: Andromeda~Callileeno on Chestnut ServerThe Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the closest galaxy to us but the Andromeda Galaxy is th largest spiral galaxy near us.Look on this site for more info...http://www.brighthub.com/science/space/articles/41000.aspx
Can you see your own galaxy in the night sky?
No you would see an entirely different vista. Most of the stars you can see from earth would not be visible to the naked eye from the galactic core, and they would also be lost in a blaze of glory of the core suns. From within a planetary atmosphere you probably would not be able to see stars even at night, due to the ambient light. The core suns are packed about a quarter of a light year apart.
What is An example of a elliptical galaxy?
The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter (one light year is about 9.5 x 1015 meters), but only about 1000 light years thick while M10 is a globular cluster of about 100 stars, all quite similar in size, M12 is an open cluster of bright and fainter stars, more loosely packed than M10. Again about 100 stars while M14 is a fine globular cluster of many hundreds of stars and with a good Telescope can be resolved to the core, on a moonless night. No it is actually one of the largest galaxies the only other one that is larger is the Andromeda Galaxy(M31)
Who has seen beyond Earth's galaxy?
Anyone can see beyond our galaxy - even with the naked eye. There are three galaxies that can be seen with the naked eye: M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy), the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud. The latter two can't be seen from the northern hemisphere, though.
Messier 31is the nearest what to the earth?
Messier 31 or M31 or the Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest large spiral galaxy to Earth.It is commonly assumed wrongly to be the closest galaxy to our own but other smaller galaxies are closer. In fact it is the 35th nearest galaxy to us.The Canus Major Dwarf Galaxy is thought to be closest at 42,000ly from the galactic core and 25,000ly from earth. It is infact closer to the solar system than the galactic core of the Milky Way. (Satellite of Milky Way)Sagillarius Dwarf Eliptical Galaxy is 50,000ly from the core and 70ly from Earth. (Satellite of Milky Way)Large Magellanic Cloud is 157,000 ly from the core. (Satellite of Milky Way)Bootes I Dwarf Galaxy is 197,000ly from the core.

(Satellite of Milky Way)Carina Dwarf Galaxy is 330,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)Fornax Dwarf Galaxy is 460,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)Leo II Dwarf Galaxy is 701,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)Leo I Dwarf Galaxy is 820,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)Leo T Dward Galaxy is 1,370,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy is 1,440,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)Barnard's Galaxy is 1,630,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)MGC1 star cluster is 2,000,000ly. (Isolated Cluster)NGC 185 Dwarf Galaxy is 2,010,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)Andromeda II Dwarf Galaxy is 2,130,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)IC 10 Galaxy is 2,200,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)NGC 147 Dwarf Galaxy is 2,200,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)Leo A Dwarf Galaxy is 2,250,000ly. (Satellite of Milky Way)IC 1613 Dwarf Irregular Galaxy is 2,350,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)Andromeda I Dwarf Galaxy is 2,430,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)Andromeda III Dwarf Galaxy is 2,440,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)Cetus Dwarf Galaxy is 2,460,000ly.

(Satellite of Andromeda)Andromeda VIII Galaxy is 2,560,000ly. (Satellite of Andromeda)M31/ Andromeda Galaxy is 2,560,000ly.M33/ Triangulum Galaxy is 2,640,000ly.
Are there other galaxies besides the Milky Way galxay?
Yes. Some examples of galaxies (which you can look up) are the: Andromeda Galaxy, the Large Magellanic cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
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.
How far away is the solar system to other galaxies?
The nearest galaxy to us is the Andromeda Galaxy, about 2.5 Million light years from us. It can be just about seen with the naked eye, as a small cloudy looking object in the Andromeda constellation.
What is the name of the galaxy which is nearest to your own?
The Andromeda galaxy is the nearest large galaxy. There are several "dwarf" galaxies which are nearer, including the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds
What are the closest dwarf galaxies to the Milky Way?
Surprisingly, Andromeda is not the closest galaxy to the milky way galaxy; Draco is the closest dwarf galaxy to the Milky Way. Following that is Ursa Minor, and then the small Magellanic cloud, and then the large Magellanic cloud. Amazingly, Andromeda is 14 galaxies away!
What are some of the names of the known galaxies?
Milky Way, M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy), the Triangulum Galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud, ...

Galaxies closest to the milky way?
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are 2 small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.The Andromeda Galaxy, which is slightly larger than the Milky Way.The Triangulum Galaxy, which is slightly smaller than the Milky Way.
What is the name of a nearby galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud are two nearby dwarf galaxies. Two larger galaxies that are still part of our local group are the Andromeda Galaxy (a.k.a. M31), and the Triangulum Galaxy. All of the above-named galaxies can be seen with the naked eye.
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.
What other galaxies do you have in your universe?
There are billions of other galaxies; perhaps 100 billion or so (1011) in the observable Universe. Some of the closer ones - that can be seen with the naked eye - are M31 (a.k.a. the "Andromeda Galaxy", the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
How many galaxies can be seen from space not using a telescope?
From Earth, it is possible to see three galaxies with the naked eye: the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
