Yes. Our local group of galaxies is made up of 3 larger galaxies (milky-way, Andromeda and M33) and several smaller or dwarf galaxies.
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and our closest neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, are both spiral galaxies.
Edwin Hubble was an astronomer.He proved that there are a lot of other galaxies out there.He proved that those galaxies are moving away from us and the universe is expanding.
Both the speed and the distance of distant galaxies must be measured accurately.
many windows were donated by members of local crafts and guilds, so the signature frames indicate what group or individual donated/ paid for the window
Check with your local hazardous waste, or landfill, department. There is probably a place to drop it off to be properly disposed of. In my city, there is a group of volunteers who do this on the first Saturday of the month at no charge.
The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".
We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.
The Milky Way Galaxy is the second largest galaxy, after Andromeda, in the Local Group. The Triangulum Galaxy (a.k.a., the Star Wars galaxy) is the third largest. The Local Group contains about 30 galaxies, including dwarf galaxies.
Gravity holds the local group of galaxies together.

A small cluster called the 'local group'
No. It has only 3 big spiral galaxies, but dozens of dwarf galaxies.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a member of the Local Group, which is a small cluster of galaxies that includes our Milky Way galaxy and a few dozen other smaller galaxies. The Local Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is a larger structure of galaxies in the universe.
A galaxy in the Local Group.
The observable Universe has at least a hundred billion galaxies. The galaxies closest to us are part of the so-called "Local Group" (that is, the group that includes our galaxy); this Local Group includes our own galaxy (i.e., the Milky Way), the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 50 dwarf galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. Then, of course, there are hundreds or thousands of galaxies "near-by" as distances between galaxies go, but outside of our Local Group.
The galaxy cluster that contains the Milky Way is called the Local Group.
The local group is a collection of galaxies. It is not a galaxy on it's own.
