It is called R136a1. It is in a star cluster in a nearby galaxy.
the closest galaxy to us is Andromeda.
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.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky of earth not a galaxy
That is unrelated to age. An irregular galaxy is one that has been distored by the gravity of nearby galaxies.

Our galaxy is called the Milky way, but the closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.
Vast groups of gravitationally bound stars (typically billions of them) are called galaxies. Smaller clusters of stars (up to a few million) may be called globular clusters. Each galaxy may have a proper name. For example, our galaxy is called "The Milky Way." Our sister galaxy is "Andromeda," after the constellation near which it appears in our sky. (The constellation stars are nearby--at most a few hundred light years away, whereas Andromeda is over 2.5 million light years from us).
The nearest spiral galaxy to us is called Andromeda. It's also known as M31, and is believed to contain upwards of one trillion stars. That makes it about twice the size of the Milky Way. The nearest galaxy of any type is an irregular dwarf galaxy called the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy. It is smaller, and is believed to be in the process of being absorbed into the Milky Way.
The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud are two nearby dwarf galaxies. Two larger galaxies that are still part of our local group are the Andromeda Galaxy (a.k.a. M31), and the Triangulum Galaxy. All of the above-named galaxies can be seen with the naked eye.
A galaxy is a cluster of stars and gasses and a planet is something that goes around a star. Can you see why this might not make sense?
The Milky Way galaxy is.... called the Milky Way Galaxy
