There are small "cluster" galaxies that are actually in contact with the Milky Way and other galaxies, either being absorbed or moving past the larger formations. Aside from these types, the Milky Way also has satellite dwarf galaxies, the largest being the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds, with centers 160,000 and 200,000 light-years from the Milky Way, respectively. (The Milky Way is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter.)

The distance to the nearest "major" galaxy, Andromeda, was computed in 2005 as 2.52 million light-years.
