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 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.
..What..? The univere is EVERYTHING, including the milky way galaxy.
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.
The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy with a defined shape and structure, while irregular galaxies lack a symmetrical shape or structure. Irregular galaxies may have no distinct pattern, such as arms or a central bulge, unlike the Milky Way. Irregular galaxies also tend to have higher rates of star formation compared to spiral galaxies like the Milky Way.
Mister Edwin Hubble did just that, before the 1920's, many astronomers thought that our galaxy included everyobject in space, in 1924 Edwin Hubble proved that other galaxies existed beyond the milky way
The Milky Way is our galaxy, the are no other galaxies within it though we are part of a local group of galaxies.
There are billions of galaxies in the Universe.
The milky way is different then other galaxies because it has a milky color and twists in the middle and other galaxies dont have a planet with live humans.Maybe Aliens.Prove me wrong if you want because it might be wrong.Thank you.
No
There could be billions of other galaxies similar to the milky way.
No. The Milky Way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the Universe. Just like there are billions of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, there are also comparable numbers of planets in other galaxies.
It's a galaxy
Our Milky Way is a galaxy, so you may want to compare it to other galaxies.
No one knows the answer to that because astronomers haven't been able to explore any other galaxies besides the Milky Way.
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.
After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.
