Pretty close, you're living in one right now - the Milky way galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is closest to the Milky Way and is about 2.5 light years away. That means it takes the light from it 2.5 years to reach us. The distance in miles is about: 14,696,249,535,466. Some galaxies are billions of light years away from us which is a humbling amount of distance to conceive.
