Is the magellanic clouds a galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a galaxy, whereas the Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf 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
What is the specialty of Andromeda galaxy?
It is a large galaxy, which is relatively near-by. There are galaxies nearer to us, like the two Magellan Clouds; but those are mini-galaxies.
What ae the names of the Magellanic Clouds that neighbor the Milky Way galaxy?
Large and Small (LMC & SMC)
What is the closest Large Magellanic cloud galaxy to ours.?
The Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way, located approximately 163,000 light-years away.
WHAT DOES AN IRREGULAR GALALXY LOOK LIKE?
An irregular galaxy looks sort of like clouds in the sky. A large part of an irregular galaxy is made of clouds of dust and fine rock. The Milky Way galaxy looks like a pinwheel, and some galaxies look like near-perfect discs.
What is the furthest objects visible in the sky are called?
With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy. The farthest objects visible in large telescopes would also be entire galaxies.With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy.

What objects made the galaxy?
Black holes, stars, planets, proto-planets, large and small agglomerates (comets, meteors, interstellar dust), gas clouds.
The milky way galaxy has a companion galaxy called what?
The Milky Way's main companion galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31. It is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and is on a collision course with it, expected to merge in about 4.5 billion years. Additionally, the Milky Way has several smaller companions, including the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
What are interstellar gas clouds?
Interstellar gas clouds are large clouds of gas and dust located in the vast spaces between stars in a galaxy. These clouds play a crucial role in the formation of new stars and planetary systems, as they can eventually collapse under their own gravity to form protostars. Interstellar gas clouds can also contain complex molecules that are crucial for the chemistry of the universe.
Is Andromeda galaxy the biggest galaxy?
Although the Andromeda Galaxy is a bit larger than the Milky Way, and is large as spiral galaxies go, it is not the largest galaxy. There are larger spiral galaxies, and much, MUCH larger elliptical galaxies. However, because it is relatively close to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy _appears_ quite large, spanning an apparent width roughly six times that of a full Moon. Still, there are two smaller, closer galaxies (the Magellanic Clouds) which appear larger still. (The Magellanic Clouds are not visible from northern latitudes, however, so one could argue that the Andromeda Galaxy is the biggest galaxy in _apparent size_ visible from most of the northern hemisphere.)
Galaxies closest to the milky way?
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are 2 small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.The Andromeda Galaxy, which is slightly larger than the Milky Way.The Triangulum Galaxy, which is slightly smaller than the Milky Way.
