It doesn't make much sense to talk about something being 52 light-years away from a galaxy: A typical galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, and doesn't have a clearly-defined border. Distances between galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years.

Approximately, yes it is.
53 Million light years
Dwingeloo 1 galaxy is about 9 million light years from us. Dwingeloo 2 a satellite galaxy of D1 is about 10 million light years from us.

No galaxy is 2.9 million miles away - they are much, much farther. Even the closest star in our own galaxy is much farther away than that.
ESO 510-G13 is a spiral galaxy approximately 150 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra See:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Warped_galaxy.jpg
No. If you look far enough away, you will see OTHER objects in the past. For example, if a galaxy is ten million light-years away, the light of this galaxy took 10 million years to reach us, so we see this galaxy 10 million years ago. Earth's light, from millions of years ago, doesn't come back to us, since (roughly speaking) light travels in a straight line, and moves at the speed of light (300,000 km/sec).
There is no such galaxy, the nearest galaxy is over 2 million light-years away.
its about 2.5 million light years away
The Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy is approximately 3 million light years away. The Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy is approximately 2.7 million light years away.
Two nearby galaxies are Andromeda galaxy and Triangulum galaxy. Andromeda galaxy is about 2.56 million light years away from us. Triangulum galaxy is about 3 million light years away from us.
23 million light-years.
2.5 million light-years approximately ;)
The Cartwheel Galaxy is a lenticular galaxy about 500 million light years away in the constellation Sculptor.It is about 150,000 light-years across.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31 galaxy).
About 2.5 million light-years.Approximately 2.5 million light years away
about 12 million light years away
At the current estimates, the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.54 million light years from us, and getting closer every year. At that rate, it is expected to "merge" not "collide" in about 4.5 billion years.
Dwingeloo 1 galaxy is about 9 million light years from us. Dwingeloo 2 a satellite galaxy of D1 is about 10 million light years from us.
