What is the milky ways companion called?
The Milky Way's most notable companion galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31. It is the largest galaxy in the Local Group, which includes the Milky Way, Andromeda, and several smaller galaxies. Andromeda is on a collision course with the Milky Way, expected to merge in about 4.5 billion years. Other smaller companions include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
What characteristics do Andromeda galaxy stars have?
Basically, the same characteristics that the stars in the Milky Way - our own galaxy - have. Aside from the fact that Andromeda is somewhat bigger, the two galaxies are thought by astronomers to be very much alike. When Edwin Hubble studied the Andromeda Galaxy in the early 20th century, he was able to discern within it several "Cephid variable" stars, which proved, among other things, that Andreomeda was a galaxy, like ours. Prior to that time, it was believed that the Milky Way was the only galaxy - the others were "clouds".

What The Milky Way galaxy has a companion galaxy called the?
The Milky Way galaxy has several companion galaxies, the most notable of which is the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Andromeda is the largest galaxy in the Local Group, which also includes the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and numerous smaller galaxies. The two galaxies are on a collision course and are expected to merge in about 4.5 billion years. Other smaller companions include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and several dwarf galaxies.
Are Sagittarius dwarf galaxy and Andromeda galaxy the same?
No, the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy are not the same. The Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy is a small, irregular galaxy orbiting around the Milky Way, while the Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy located 2.537 million light-years away from the Milky Way.
Are there other galaxies besides the Milky Way galxay?
Yes. Some examples of galaxies (which you can look up) are the: Andromeda Galaxy, the Large Magellanic cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
How far away is the solar system to other galaxies?
The nearest galaxy to us is the Andromeda Galaxy, about 2.5 Million light years from us. It can be just about seen with the naked eye, as a small cloudy looking object in the Andromeda constellation.
What is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy?
The closest galaxy to our galaxy the Sagittarius galaxy but its Dwarf Galaxy, Andromeda is the Complete Galaxy and yet classified as the Galaxy which is closest to our galaxy. Facts : There are 12 Dwarf galaxies and 1 complete galaxy within the distance of 500,000 light years. Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards our galaxy at the speed 300,000 Kilometers per hour, but its so far that i would take millions of year to have a clash.
What is the name of the galaxy which is nearest to your own?
The Andromeda galaxy is the nearest large galaxy. There are several "dwarf" galaxies which are nearer, including the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds
What are the closest dwarf galaxies to the Milky Way?
Surprisingly, Andromeda is not the closest galaxy to the milky way galaxy; Draco is the closest dwarf galaxy to the Milky Way. Following that is Ursa Minor, and then the small Magellanic cloud, and then the large Magellanic cloud. Amazingly, Andromeda is 14 galaxies away!

What is the name of a nearby galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud are two nearby dwarf galaxies. Two larger galaxies that are still part of our local group are the Andromeda Galaxy (a.k.a. M31), and the Triangulum Galaxy. All of the above-named galaxies can be seen with the naked eye.
