∙ 12y agoIt is called the Local Group
The Local Group is a small cluster of galaxies that includes about 54 galaxies, with the Milky Way and Andromeda being the two largest members. It is just one of many clusters in the universe.
No. It is a single galaxy.
Viewed from the Galactic North Pole, the Milky Way galaxy is moving anticlockwise.
Yes, the Milky Way is a member of the Local Group, which is a small cluster of galaxies that includes about 54 galaxies. The Local Group is gravitationally bound together and the Milky Way is one of the largest galaxies within it.
The cluster, which contains the Milky way and more than 50 other galaxies, is called the Local Cluster. The cluster has a diameter of 3.1 million parsecs (10 million light years). The Local Group is part of the much larger Virgo Supercluster.
The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our sun is located. The local group of stars is part of the Milky Way and therefore smaller than it is. The local Group of galaxies is a cluster of galaxies and therefore larger than the Milky Way.
the Virgo cluster of galaxies is about 60 million light years away from the Sun.
No, because our solar system is in the Milky Way GALAXY
The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy and open clusters are only found in spiral or irregular galaxies.
The Coma Cluster is known to contain a mix of elliptical and lenticular (S0) galaxies as its dominant types. These galaxies are characterized by their older stellar populations and lack of much ongoing star formation activity. Spirals and irregular galaxies are also present but in smaller numbers compared to elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the Coma Cluster.
No, it is part of a cluster of 30 galaxies known as the local group. The two most massive members of the group are the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.
