First, one from the lighter side of life: the Ford Galaxie (it's a car!).
Okay, here's another: Messier than you, the Messier 82 (actually, a 'nearby' starburst galaxy [12 million light years away!] in the Ursa Majorconstellation).
The closest galaxy to our own is the Canis Major Dwarf.
The first found (in 1923, by Edwin Hubble) are the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy. Hubble determined that they were two separate galaxies (so far).
Okay, so then there's Cygnus A, Malin 1, Omega Centauri, and the Whirlpool Galaxy.
There really are many more, but these are the easiest for me to remember because they actually have names, instead of numbers.

How do you know the other galaxies are real?
You don't its specuation
Why do scientist study the light coming from distant galaxies?
They study distant galaxies because they want to know whats out in other galaxies and how many planets it has
How do you know there are other galaxies?
We can see them in even average sized telescopes.
Do you think humans will one day see other worlds beyond our galaxy Do you think it's possible to leave our solar system and explore other galaxies and see other planets or life forms big or small?
Yes. Scientists haven't been able to explore other galaxies. I believe that there is life in other galaxies just like Earth. but how do they explore galaxies? i mean how do they know there are other galaxies? do they have any proof of lik=fe on other galaxies? ^^^^^^^
Does NASA know of any other galaxies?
Yes. Looking at a deeps space image it is apparent that the universe is filled with Galaxies. It is estimated that there are about 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Are there planets in other galaxies?
Well, we don't know whats all out there because it's hard to get into other galaxies, but we think its the only one with planets. (We don't know for sure so do some more research)
What is behind all the planets?
I know only of other galaxies and belt of kuiper
Do scientists know of any other galaxies in the universe besides the Milky Way?
Yes.
Do scientist study other galaxies because they want to learn about the speed of light?
No. We already know a good deal about the speed of light. Scientists study other galxies to learn how galaxies work.
Do you have to know about galaxies?
no
Does Every Galaxy Merge Eventually?
The answer to this is we do not know but it looks unlikely.The expansion of the universe appears to be speeding up. Local Galaxies might merge into larger galaxies but these galaxies will expand faster and faster away from each other.
Is Jupiter the only one with a big red spot?
In our galaxy yes, but in other galaxies we do not know.
