Horse Isle Answer: Andromeda~Callileeno on Chestnut ServerThe Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the closest galaxy to us but the Andromeda Galaxy is th largest spiral galaxy near us.Look on this site for more info...http://www.brighthub.com/science/space/articles/41000.aspx

It is the Canis major dwarf galaxy. It is 25,000 light years away from the sun.
About 25,000 light years from us,
The Large Magellanic Cloud is the third closest Galaxy to the Milky Way, after the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy and the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy.
In general, dwarf galaxies are smaller than spiral galaxies like our Milky Way.
The nearest galaxy to us is the Canis Major Dwarf about 0.025 million light years away.
The three closest small galaxies to the Milky Way are the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy, and the Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy. The Canis Major Dwarf is the closest, located about 25,000 light-years away, while the Sagittarius Dwarf is roughly 70,000 light-years distant. The Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy is situated about 290,000 light-years away from our galaxy. These galaxies are part of the Local Group and are significant for studies of galaxy formation and evolution.
The nearest galaxy to us is the Canis Major Dwarf about 0.025 million light years away.
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is not colliding with the Milky Way Galaxy. It is located about 25,000 light-years away from the Milky Way and is in a stable orbit around our galaxy. However, interactions between the two galaxies may be affecting each other gravitationally.
