You can see a number of galaxies with the naked eye.

  1. Milky Way Galaxy - Our Galaxy
  2. Large Magellanic Cloud - Best viewed in the Southern Hemisphere
  3. Small Magellanic Cloud - Best viewed in the southern hemisphere
  4. Andromeda Galaxy - Appears as a faint smudge.
  5. Triangulum Galaxy
  6. Sculptor Galaxy
  7. Bode's Galaxy
  8. Centaurus A - Probably the furthest galaxy at 13.7 million light years
  9. Messier 83 - Highly unlikely but has been reported to be seen.

From 5 onwards, you would need absolutely perfect conditions and no light pollution.

Does Sagittarius have a galaxy and what is it?

Every star we see in the sky is part of our own Milky Way galaxy. You cannot see any stars in other galaxies with the naked eye.


What other galaxies do you have in your universe?

There are billions of other galaxies; perhaps 100 billion or so (1011) in the observable Universe. Some of the closer ones - that can be seen with the naked eye - are M31 (a.k.a. the "Andromeda Galaxy", the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud.


What is the furthest objects visible in the sky are called?

With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy. The farthest objects visible in large telescopes would also be entire galaxies.With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy.

How many galaxies are visible to the naked eye?

Oh, what a delightful question! When you look up at the night sky, especially in a dark location away from city lights, you can see up to about 2,500 individual stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. Isn't it marvelous to think we are all part of this vast and beautiful universe?

What is the distance of the stars you see at night?

If you mean, with the naked eye: anywhere between 4 light-years, and thousands of light-years; however, there are three galaxies you can see with the naked eye, two of which are about 180,000 light-years away, while the Andromeda Galaxy is 2-3 million light-years away. With powerful telescopes, on the other hand, stars and galaxies can be seen that are millions, and even billions, of light-years away.
