The other large galaxies are the Andromeda Galaxy, and Messier 33 (the 33rd entry in Charles Messier's catalog of fuzzy things in the sky). Also in the Local Group are a couple dozen dwarf galaxies.

The Local Group is a small cluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way. At least half of all galaxies in the Universe are thought to belong to similar groups. This authoritative volume provides a ...

The DESI survey reveals that active black holes in small galaxies are common. The findings may help reveal how the two cosmic bodies evolve together.

The Milky Way's system of small, orbiting satellite galaxies is quite unusual, a new 12-year study of other galaxies in the local universe has found. The Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA ...

Researchers discovered the first ultra-faint dwarf galaxies to be found around a spiral galaxy with the mass of the Milky Way that’s outside of the clustering of galaxies that includes the Milky ...

It is believed that Dwarf galaxies are the first that formed, many of them merging afterwards to form bigger galaxies like the Milky Way, with the process leaving behind tidal debris such as GCs ...

A group of astronomers analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) say some of the oldest galaxies in our ...

Galaxies - the Milky Way's siblings - offer a surprising variety of forms and colours. Displaying symmetrical spiral arms, glowing red nebulae or diffuse halos, even the image of a galaxy can reveal ...
