How do astronomers group galaxies into three types, according to their characteristics?
Oh honey, astronomers like to keep it simple. They group galaxies into three types based on their shapes: spiral galaxies with sexy arms, elliptical galaxies looking round and stuffed, and irregular galaxies - well, you know, irregular. Astronomers will be astronomers, always categorizing everything in the universe like it's IKEA furniture.

How is it possible that galaxies in your local group still remain to be discovered?
Galaxies in the local group can still be discovered because they may be small, dim, or obscured by dust, making them harder to detect. Additionally, new technologies and techniques are constantly being developed, which may lead to the discovery of previously unknown galaxies.
What is earth's supercluster?
The Earth is located within a supercluster called the Laniakea Supercluster. It is a vast system of galaxies that includes our Milky Way galaxy and thousands of others, bound together by gravity. The Laniakea Supercluster was defined in 2014 by astronomers studying the motions of galaxies in the universe.

The Andromeda Galaxy is a member of the?
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.
What is the name for a group of stars bound together by gravity?
Our local group of galaxies is bound by gravity, although the large and small magellanic clouds nearby are moving fast enough they are probably just passing through. Our entire local group is also moving towards another big group of galaxies known as "the Great Attractor," which itself is bound by gravity. There are numerous clusters of galaxies bound by gravity throughout the hundred billion galaxies in our universe.
What kind of cluster is a tight group of older stars in the halo of spiral galaxies called?
I think you are describing a "globular cluster", which are associated with older stars by most astronomers.

Yes. Our local group of galaxies is made up of 3 larger galaxies (milky-way, Andromeda and M33) and several smaller or dwarf galaxies.
