Is one of the closest Galaxies to our own
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and our closest neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, are both spiral galaxies.
The Mellaganic Clouds are two dwarf galaxies, satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way. They are "nearby" only to the extent that they are the closest galaxies to our own. Ferdinand Magellan, the leader of the first European voyage to circumnavigate the Earth, named them because they appeared to be permanent clouds in the southern sky. The Clouds aren't visible from Europe or North America.
The three closest small galaxies to the Milky Way are the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy, and the Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy. The Canis Major Dwarf is the closest, located about 25,000 light-years away, while the Sagittarius Dwarf is roughly 70,000 light-years distant. The Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy is situated about 290,000 light-years away from our galaxy. These galaxies are part of the Local Group and are significant for studies of galaxy formation and evolution.
The closest ones near our galaxy.
No, quasars are not the closest objects to Earth. Quasars are extremely bright and distant celestial objects located billions of light-years away, typically at the centers of galaxies. The closest stars to Earth are in our own Milky Way galaxy.
The closest star is the Sun - about 8 light-minutes away. The closest star after that is at a distance of 4.3 light-years; the farthest observable galaxies (galaxies are made up of stars) are at a distance of over 40 billion light-years.The closest star is the Sun - about 8 light-minutes away.

Three galaxies would be the Milky Way, Andromeda, and Comet Galaxy.

spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
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.
