What is a nearby galaxy?
the closest galaxy to us is Andromeda.
What is the nearest galaxy to the sun?
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest one to the sun. Our galaxy is the closest one of all.
What is the closest galaxy near to earth?
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
Is the Hubble galaxy the closest major galaxy to our own?
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.
How far from earth is the farthest star on the Andromeda galaxy?
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!
What is the galaxy closest to earth?
The closest galaxy has to be the one we call the "Milky Way", since the sun is one of the stars in it, and we and our whole solar system are inside it. The next closest is the one we call the "Andromeda Galaxy" because we see it among the stars of the "Andromeda" constellation. It's something like 2.5 million light years distant from us.
Which galaxy is closest to the Milky Way?
Ah, what a great question! The little galaxy right next door to us is called the Andromeda galaxy. It's like our neighbor in this big galactic community we all live in. Just imagine all the stunning colors our universe shares with Andromeda!
What two galaxies can be seen from eath without a telescoope?
The two galaxies that can be seen from Earth without a telescope are the Milky Way, our own galaxy, and the Andromeda Galaxy, which is the closest spiral galaxy to us at about 2.5 million light-years away.
What is the closest galaxy to milky way?
It is the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the second closest to the milky way.
How will the Andromeda galaxy affect the milky way in the near future?
The Andromeda galaxy is approaching us, and will be quite near in about 3 billion years. It is not yet known whether it will actually collide with our galaxy, or move sideways - the sideways part of the velocity is harder to figure out than the component of movement towards us, or away from us.The Andromeda galaxy is approaching us, and will be quite near in about 3 billion years.

What is the specialty of Andromeda galaxy?
It is a large galaxy, which is relatively near-by. There are galaxies nearer to us, like the two Magellan Clouds; but those are mini-galaxies.
