That will obviously depend on the speed. Look up the distance to this galaxy in light-years. The equivalent number of years (i.e., the same number, just replacing "light-years" with "years") is what you would take to get there moving at the speed of light. If you move at a slower speed, it will of course take longer. For example, at 1/10 of the speed of light it would take 10 times as long. The above calculation doesn't take into account time dilation, i.e., how much time would elapse for the traveller.
An elliptical galaxy, seen "face-on". (E7 would be "edge-on".)
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is currently considered to be the closest galaxy to the Milky Way. It is 25,000 light years from our solar system and 42,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Its status as a galaxy is still disputed in some scientific circles. If the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy loses its galaxy status, then the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy would reacquire the title as the Milky Way's closest neighbor. It is it is roughly 50,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
there are 3 types of galaxies. 1.spiral 2.elliptical 3.irregular the main galaxy in our universe would be a spiral galaxy
B.) A giant elliptical galaxy
All galaxies appear to be unique; they are all equally uncommon. Except ours; the Milky Way is the only galaxy to have US in it. Edit : Galaxies are classified into various types. The most uncommon type is known as "Irregular".

An elliptical galaxy is a galaxy having an approximately ellipsoidal shape and a smooth, nearly featureless brightness profile. The galaxies range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened and have hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars.See link for more information
a large elliptical galaxy
There is the potential that there would be a drastic difference in what we see at night. Since the rest of the galaxy is what we are viewing when we look at the star field, having an elliptical galaxy could create a 'void' of stars in certain section of the sky where the bands of the galaxy were no longer present (compared to the current system).
This would be Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, discovered in November 2003, which is approximately 25,000 light years from the Earth.
Large Spiral Galaxy. This is because they contain more of the OB stars that are required for a supernova event. Elliptical galaxies tend to be older and have more low mass stars and are not as common as spiral galaxies. See Link for more information
The closest other galaxy to us would be the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy. It is only about 25,000 light years away (it is currently merging with the Milky Way).
