There is no larger rotational group for galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, as part of the Local Group, are moving generally in one direction, toward an unidentified central mass in the direction of the constellation Centaurus. (This may be a gravitational effect of the Shapley Supercluster.)
What else can I help you with?
What other planets are in the milky way galaxy?
All the planets we know of... even those orbiting other stars... are in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Is the earth in the Milky Way?
Yes, the Earth is a planet orbiting a star which we call the Sun. The Sun is just one of billions of stars orbiting the center of our galaxy which we call the Milky Way. The Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies that we know to exist in our visible universe.
Are the clouds of magellan two elliptical galaxies orbiting the milky way galaxy?
Elliptical? No. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are "dwarf" galaxies of "irregular" shape. Scientists have long believed that the SMC and LMC are "orbiting" the Milky Way, but recent analysis has cast some doubt on that; they may not actually be "orbiting".
Galaxies closest to the milky way?
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are 2 small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.The Andromeda Galaxy, which is slightly larger than the Milky Way.The Triangulum Galaxy, which is slightly smaller than the Milky Way.
Is the milky way the smallest galaxy?
no, the milky way is a typical barred spiral with about 200 billion stars some dwarf galaxies my only have a few million stars in fact, there are 2 dwarf galaxies orbiting the milky way that are much smaller
Is the Earth bigger than the Millky way?
No, the Milky Way is much larger than Earth. The Milky Way is a galaxy containing billions of stars, while Earth is just one planet orbiting around one of those stars.
Dwarf planets in the milky way?
No one knows. Astronomers are scanning the visible stars of our own Milky Way galaxy for planets orbiting faraway stars, but such planets would have to be nearly the size of Jupiter to be detected at such distances
Is the sun orbiting a black hole?
No, the sun is not orbiting a black hole. The sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy and orbits around the center of the galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
The earth and your solar system is orbiting the center of the milky way galaxy?
Yes, with an orbital period of around 220 million years.
What is the Milky Way galaxy used for?
It is the galaxy in which our Sun is an orbiting star, along with another 200 to 400 billion stars. Astronomically, the Milky Way, since it is seen edge-on, defines the galactic plane in which the majority of its stars orbit.
Where is Uranus located at in the milky way?
Uranus is a planet in our solar system, so it is located within the Milky Way galaxy, orbiting around the Sun just like Earth and the other planets in our solar system. The Milky Way galaxy itself is a spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars, including our Sun.
Does the earth move?
Yes. The earth spins on its axis and it orbits the sun. The solar system is also orbiting the center of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way itself is moving among the other galaxies in the universe. Really, there is NOTHING that is not moving. Where would it be?
