What is one of the spiral galaxies?
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and our closest neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, are both spiral galaxies.
Large magellanic cloud galaxy?
Is one of the closest Galaxies to our own
What two galaxies can be seen from eath without a telescoope?
The two galaxies that can be seen from Earth without a telescope are the Milky Way, our own galaxy, and the Andromeda Galaxy, which is the closest spiral galaxy to us at about 2.5 million light-years away.
What are the three galaxies closest to our own?
There are over 30 local to Andromeda-see list below-
What are the other galaxies accept Milky Way?
The observable Universe has at least a hundred billion galaxies. The galaxies closest to us are part of the so-called "Local Group" (that is, the group that includes our galaxy); this Local Group includes our own galaxy (i.e., the Milky Way), the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 50 dwarf galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. Then, of course, there are hundreds or thousands of galaxies "near-by" as distances between galaxies go, but outside of our Local Group.
What is andromedas purpose?
Andromeda is a galaxy like the Milky Way (the galaxy we are in). Andromeda is the closest major galaxy to our own, and eventually will collide with our galaxy. This is not something we need to worry about however, because our earth will be long gone before the galaxies collide.
How many light years from the milky galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy are approximately 2.5 million light-years apart. This makes Andromeda the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. Both galaxies are part of the Local Group of galaxies.
Is the hubble galaxy the closest galaxy to your own?
Our galaxy is called the Milky way, but the closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.
A nearby galaxy?
Horse Isle Answer: Andromeda~Callileeno on Chestnut ServerThe Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the closest galaxy to us but the Andromeda Galaxy is th largest spiral galaxy near us.Look on this site for more info...http://www.brighthub.com/science/space/articles/41000.aspx
Why are magellanic clouds described as nearby?
The Magellanic Clouds are described as nearby because they are two irregular dwarf galaxies that are in close proximity to the Milky Way galaxy, located about 163,000 light-years away. They are some of the closest companion galaxies to our own galaxy and are visible in the southern hemisphere.
Can you see a galaxy with a telscope?
Yes. You need a telescope to see most galaxies. However, aside from parts of our own galaxy, there are at least three others that can be seen with the naked eye. In the northern hemisphere, the Andromeda galaxy, a spiral galaxy like our own "Milky Way" galaxy, is visible with the naked eye at times. In the southern hemisphere, you can see the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two irregular galaxies.
Are quasars closest to earth?
No, quasars are not the closest objects to Earth. Quasars are extremely bright and distant celestial objects located billions of light-years away, typically at the centers of galaxies. The closest stars to Earth are in our own Milky Way galaxy.
