our galaxy the milky way is one of several shapes in the entire universe.All galixys contain clouds of dust that are formed by the galaxy and they also have different shapes.our milky way is a spiral shaped.another could be irregular.
There could be billions of other galaxies similar to the milky way.
The local group is a collection of galaxies. It is not a galaxy on it's own.
For one thing, the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, which is the most abundant type of galaxy.
Both are spiral galaxies.
Universe is describing the galaxies. There are different galaxies and our galaxy is called Milky Way Galaxy. There are some other galaxies miles away from ours.
The Andromeda Galaxy, M82, Bode's Galaxy
Other spiral galaxies.
Our galaxy is one of the billions of other galaxy known as the spiral galaxy. Our galaxy is one of a dozen galaxies that comprises what is known as the local group.
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.
There is no galaxy specifically known as "Orion Galaxy". Of course, there are millions of galaxies in the Orion constellation, just as there are millions of galaxies in any other direction.
There aren't really any other names for a galaxy that I can think of, but there are galaxy classifications, such as spiral galaxies (that can rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise), elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies.
There are at least 27 known dwarf galaxies orbiting the Andromeda galaxy. These small galaxies are gravitationally bound to Andromeda and are much smaller in size and mass compared to the main galaxy.
