When you look up into the night sky, there is only one thing yo can see (with good seeing conditions) that is outside of our galaxy, and that is the Andromeda Galaxy. Every other thing you see in the night sky is here in our galaxy. Any basic book on astronomy gives the names of scores of well-known stars. Just a small handful here: Castor, Pollux, Rigel, Sirius, Vega, Polaris, Spica, Regulus.

Has your galaxy ever destroyed a dwarth galaxy?
yes it has, some stars are from the dwarth galaxy the milky way "destroyed".
Why Milky Ways galaxy called Milky Way?

Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
What is after the milky way?
After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.
Is the earth part of the milky way?
Yes. Earth is a planet going round the Sun. The Sun is one of some 200 billion stars which form the galaxy known as the Milky Way.
What is the difference between the milky way and globular clusters?
Globular clusters are small groups of stars, while the milky way is a large galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars, along with some of these clusters.
What will happen to the milky way galaxy in the universe?
Difficult to know for certain. However, it seems likely that the Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 3.4 billion years or so. The supermassive black holes that are believed to be in the centers of many galaxies (including the Milky Way) will probably merge, and most of the stars of the combined galaxy will eventually settle into position in the new galaxy. But some stars will likely be flung out into interstellar space.
Is the milky way the smallest galaxy?
no, the milky way is a typical barred spiral with about 200 billion stars some dwarf galaxies my only have a few million stars in fact, there are 2 dwarf galaxies orbiting the milky way that are much smaller
What does Every star in the sky belongs to?
Every star in the sky belongs to a galaxy, a vast collection of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity. Our sun, for example, belongs to the Milky Way galaxy.
Which galaxy does the sun belong to?
These are the basics. Our sun is the star at the center of our solar system. A solar system is made up of a star and any other objects connected to it by its gravity. Our sun has the standard eight planets along with their moons, and also countless other objects including asteroids and comets. Our galaxy, The Milky Way, is estimated to contain between 200 billion and 400 billion stars. Some of those stars have planets orbiting them, and others do not. Our solar system then is just a very very tiny part of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is one of billions of observable galaxies throughout space.
What kind of galaxy is the one you live in?
The milky way
