The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is classified as an irregular galaxy.
As the name suggests, it is also a dwarf galaxy.
Canis
Dogs are mammals of the Order Canidae. They are canids, of the Genus Canis and species Canis Lupus.
Any constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern, but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no such thing as a constellation's distance from us.
No. The largest known galaxy of its kind is the spiral galaxy Malin 1.
Canis Major is a constellation, not a specific object with a fixed distance from Earth. The stars in Canis Major are at varying distances from Earth, with Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation, located about 8.6 light-years away.
If there is, we will not know unless they come to us, we don't even know if there is any other forms of life apart from that on Earth in the Milkyway yet, so lets not run before we can walk. addition: Life as in what? Any kind of living thing? An algae? A fungus? A human or other higher thinking being? Unfortunately, probably a question that no one will ever know. The milky way is HUGE. Our closest star (besides our sun) is Proxima Centauri. If you traveled the speed of light (which is impossible), you would have to travel 4.2 years. The closest galaxy to our Milky Way is the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy (which is IN our galaxy). It would take you 42,000 years at the speed of light to get there. There are millions and millions and millions of stars in our OWN galaxy. To think that there isn't life on other planets orbiting one of those billions and billions of stars that AREN'T in our galaxy is slim. Chances are that there is life outside our milky way.

An elliptical galaxy is an egg shaped galaxy that has an almost featureless image.
A comet one stupid.
Elliptical galaxies.
A black dwarf is not a a kind of object rather than an individual star.
VY canis majoris is the largest known star to man and one of the most luminous . This star is a red hyper-giant located in the constellation Canis major about 4900 light years far from the earth. this star is about 3 billion km in diameter and have 1800-2100 solar radii . If we somehow replace our sun with this hyper giant, the surface of this star would extend beyond to the orbit of Saturn .
