What else can I help you with?
Is Andromeda galaxy the largest?
The Andromeda Galaxy is not the largest galaxy in the universe, but it is one of the largest galaxies in our local group. The largest galaxy known is IC 1101, which is over 50 times the size of the Milky Way.
Do you live in the local group of galaxy clusters?
no one nows we might live a group of galaxy or we might not who nows?
What supercluster do we live in?
The Local group for the clusterThe Virgo Super Clusters for the Supercluster
What are superclusters?
Superclusters are very large groupings of smaller galactic clusters. Superclusters are the largest known structures in the Universe, and since they are not gravitationally bound, they partake in the Hubble expansion. The Milky Way Galaxy is located in the Local Group, which in turn is located in the Virgo Supercluster.
This cluster of galaxies is made up of about 25 galaxies including the milky way?
Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.
What are galaxies that are found in clusters?
Most galaxies, even our own, are found in groups or clusters. For example, the Local Group contains several galaxies including the Milky Way, Andromeda, and the Magellanic clouds.
How many stars are in a supercluster?
A supercluster is a collection of clusters. There is no defined amount of clusters. A cluster could have up to 10 trillion stars, so a supercluster could contain around a quadtrillion stars.
Is it true that in the milky way it is a member of the local group?
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.
Two largest and massive members of local group?
The two most massive members of the Local Group are the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy.
The Milky Way is the smallest galaxy in the Local Group?
No, in fact it is the second-largest galaxy, after M31. Most of the other members of the Local Group are dwarf galaxies.
Is the milky way the largest object in the universe?
No, The Milky Way is the galaxy in which Earth's sun is to be found and it is only the second largest galaxy in the local group - the neighboring Andromeda galaxy is larger. The largest galaxies that we know of are giant elliptical galaxies in the centers of clusters of galaxies. These galaxies are about 10 times more luminous than the Milky Way and Andromeda (which are spiral galaxies) and about 100 times more massive, with diameters of more than 6 million light years (compared to about 100 thousand light years for the Milky Way). The largest objects in the universe that we can recognize are galactic super clusters, which are large associations of galaxies that can extend over distances of more than 100 million light-years.
How does Milky Way stack up against the other galaxies in the Local group?
It is the second largest, by quite some margin.
