Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.

What is the cluster of galaxies made up by twenty-five galaxies including the milky way?

The cluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way is known as the Local Group. It consists of over 54 galaxies, with the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy being the two largest members. Other notable galaxies in the Local Group include the Triangulum Galaxy and numerous smaller galaxies, such as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This group spans approximately 10 million light-years in diameter.


The Milky Way Galaxy and about 17 other galaxies within 3 million light-years of the Milky Way Galaxy are collectively known as what?

The Milky Way Galaxy and about 17 other galaxies within 3 million light-years are collectively known as the Local Group. This group includes galaxies such as Andromeda (M31), Triangulum (M33), and the Milky Way.


If the other galaxy bigger than ours or smaller?

By definition the question is incorrect. There are not only 2 galaxies in our universe, but billions. Each galaxy is a different size and is made up of millions or stars and planets. Our galaxy is called the Milky-Way, and our closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.


What is a tight group of older stars located in the halo of spiral galaxies is?

That is a globular cluster. These clusters are spherical collections of stars that orbit around the center of a galaxy in its halo. They are typically made up of thousands to millions of stars that are much older than the stars found in the disk of the galaxy.

How many galaxies make up your galaxy today?

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is itself a galaxy, made up of approx. 200 billion stars. There are no other galaxies within our own.


What is a large group of stars?

A large group of stars is called a galaxy. Galaxies can contain billions or even trillions of stars, along with other celestial objects like planets, nebulae, and black holes. The Milky Way, which contains our solar system, is a spiral galaxy.


What else in space besides stars?

Planets, small bodies ( asteroid, comet, meteoroid) solar systems ( we live in milky way), and galaxies made of dust and small particles. We believe most galaxies have black holes (timeless area in space that pulls matter in) in the center and that makes the galaxies spin.


How many satellite galaxies orbit the Milky Way?

Oh, that's a wonderful question! You know, the Milky Way actually has quite a few satellite galaxies, all gathered around like dear friends in a cozy painting. Scientists estimate there are about 50 or so different satellite galaxies gracefully dancing around our beautiful Milky Way galaxy. Can you picture it now, right there in your mind's eye?


Which classification describes the milk way?

The Milky Way is classified as a barred spiral galaxy. It features a central bar-shaped structure made up of stars, along with spiral arms that extend outward, containing stars, gas, and dust. It is part of the Local Group of galaxies and has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. The Milky Way houses billions of stars, including our solar system.


Is a globular cluster a galaxy?

In our Milky Way galaxy, globular clusters tend to be at the "outlying fringes" or "halo" of the galaxy, and seem to be largely made up of very old stars.


What's bigger than the Milky Way galaxy?

Oh my friend, there are vast galaxies in the universe much larger than our beautiful Milky Way. Just imagine the sheer magnitude of space that surrounds us, and how it's full of wonders waiting to be discovered. Let's paint a picture together with that in mind, full of limitless possibilities and endless inspiration.
