The nearest galaxy which is not a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy, just over 2 million light years away.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is the third closest Galaxy to the Milky Way, after the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy and the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy.
No. It is our closest neighboring galaxy.
The Andromeda Galaxy
Our galaxy is called the Milky way, but the closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.
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!
The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way, located about 2.5 million light-years away. It is home to about a trillion stars and has a diameter of approximately 220,000 light-years. Andromeda is on a collision course with the Milky Way and is expected to merge with our galaxy in about 4 billion years.
The closest galaxy to the Milky Way is the Andromeda galaxy.
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy. It is the closest spiral galaxy to our own.
yes
All stars that are named are within the Milky Way galaxy.The closest star would probably be in the Canis Major Dwarfgalaxy, our nearest galaxy.
Oh, precious friend, I can see you're curious about our vast universe! Andromeda is indeed the closest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way. It's like having a neighbor in our cosmic neighborhood, twinkling in the vastness of space. Keep exploring and let your imagination soar with the stars!
