Is the Hubble galaxy the closest major galaxy to our own?
There is no galaxy called the Hubble Galaxy
How did Edwin Hubble's discovery that the Andromeda galaxy was far away of our own galaxy contribute to astronomers' knowledge about the size of the universe?
Prior to Hubble's discovery scientists generally believed that our galaxy was the entire universe. Hubble found that the Andromeda galaxy was, then called the Andromeda Nebula, was not a part of our galaxy but a galaxy unto itself far beyond the edge of the Milky Way. This discovered demonstrated that the universe is much larger than scientists have believed.
Large magellanic cloud galaxy?
Is one of the closest Galaxies to our own
According to Hubble's law the farther away a galaxy is?
According to Hubble's Law, the farther away a galaxy is the, faster it is moving away
What is one of the spiral galaxies?

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 most distant galaxy the Hubble can detect?
The furthest Hubble as ever gazed into the universe is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Search that in google and check it out.
What is the closest galaxy?
Well, we're inside the Milky Way galaxy, so obviously it's the closest.The closest satellite galaxy to us is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy at a distance of about 25,000 light years.Most scientists say that the closest galaxy that isn't a satellite of the Milky Way is Andromeda, about 2 million light years away.However some argue the Large Magellanic Cloud is a separate galaxy, and not a satellite of our own galaxy. If they are correct then the nearest galaxy is 169,000 light years away.
What is the closest galaxy to your galaxy?
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.
What is the galaxy classification?
The current galaxy classification is based on. * The Hubble sequence is a morphological classification scheme for galaxies invented by Edwin Hubble in 1936 * The de Vaucouleurs system for classifying galaxies is a widely used extension to the Hubble sequence, first described by Gérard de Vaucouleurs in 1959. * The Yerkes (or Morgan) scheme uses the spectra of stars in the galaxy
