The group of 25 galaxies is commonly referred to as the "Maffei Group." It is a collection of galaxies located in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia, and it includes notable members such as Maffei 1 and Maffei 2. This group is part of the larger Local Volume of galaxies and is relatively close to the Milky Way.
The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".The local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way is called the "Local Group".
Yes. Our local group of galaxies is made up of 3 larger galaxies (milky-way, Andromeda and M33) and several smaller or dwarf galaxies.
Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.
A group of galaxies is called a galaxy cluster or galaxy group.
We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.
A group of galaxies is called a cluster.
No. It has only 3 big spiral galaxies, but dozens of dwarf galaxies.
Irregular galaxies are thought to represent about 25% of all the galaxies. That puts the total at around 25 billion - depending on the source for the total amount (100 -> 300 billion)
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.
