What else can I help you with?
What do two dozen or so galaxies nearest to the Milky Way Galaxy form?
Two dozen or so galaxies nearest to the Milky Way Galaxy form Local Group.
What galaxy is considered nearest to our galaxy?
Not counting the Magellanic Clouds (which are minielliptical galaxies orbiting our galaxy), the Andromeda galaxy is the galaxy nearest to our galaxy.
What is the name of the galaxy which is nearest to your own?
The Andromeda galaxy is the nearest large galaxy. There are several "dwarf" galaxies which are nearer, including the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds
How big is the nearest galaxy?
It is difficult to accurately measure the distances to other stars in our own galaxy, not to mention the distances to other galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy, of which our solar system is a tiny part, is a little bigger than the average, but not greatly so. The nearest other galaxies to ours are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, which are dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.
What is the name of your nearest neighbouring galaxy?
The closest is one of the globular or irregular dwarf galaxies, Canis Major irregular being the nearest . The closest full sized galaxy is Andromeda.
The Milky Way Galaxy and all its nearest neighbors are part of a cluster of over 50 galaxies called the .?

What the Milky Way Galaxy and all its nearest neighbors are part of a cluster of over 50 galaxies called the?
The Milky Way Galaxy and its nearest neighbors are part of a cluster known as the Local Group. This cluster comprises over 50 galaxies, including prominent members like the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy. The Local Group spans approximately 10 million light-years and is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster. It is characterized by a mix of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies.
What is the main reason why people have not been able to travel to other galaxies?
I suppose you might say that the main reason is they're incredibly far away! We haven't even gotten to other planets yet, and you're wondering about galaxies? The nearest other galaxies are so far away it takes even light 150,000 years to get there!
Are there some galaxies that have 400 billion or more stars?
Yes. The Andromeda Galaxy, the nearest spiral galaxy to our own, may have as many as 1 trillion stars.
What is the nearest rich cluster of galaxies?
The nearest cluster of galaxies is the "Virgo Cluster" discovered by Charles Messier in 1784. The Virgo cluster lies at/near the center of the Supercluster we belong to - also called the "Virgo Supercluster". Our "Local Group" (comprising of The Milky way, Andromeda, and another 25-30 smaller galaxies) is part of the Virgo Cluster. The center of the Virgo cluster is at a distance of about 18 Mpc (Mega parsecs) approx 60 Million lightyears from us [which translates to a 'redshift' of only z=0.004]. Ain't the universe huge? Note: There are quite a few 'groups of galaxies' between us and the center of Virgo Cluster.
