Where is the Milky Way?

The Milky Way, Andromeda and Triangle Galaxy are the main galaxies in this cluster, which has about 50 galaxies, and this cluster is a part of virgo supercluster. The Milky Way is surrounded by dwarf galaxies in some local galaxy groups, the largest of which is large magellanic cloud with a diameter of 265,438+0,000 light years, and the smallest are Carina dwarf, Tianlong dwarf and Lion dwarf, all of which are only 500 light years in diameter. Other galaxies around the Milky Way are the Small Magellanic Cloud, the closest is the Canis dwarf galaxy, followed by the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, the Ursa dwarf galaxy, the Auriga dwarf galaxy, the sextant dwarf galaxy, the celestial dwarf galaxy and the Lion I dwarf galaxy.

The local galaxy group is a group of galaxies including the Milky Way where the earth is located. This group of galaxies contains about 50 galaxies, and its center of gravity is located somewhere in the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy. All the galaxies in this cluster cover an area with a diameter of about 65.438+0 billion light years. This cluster of galaxies belongs to a larger area of virgo supercluster.

Galaxies in the local group of galaxies (German) The two largest members of the local group of galaxies are the Milky Way and Andromeda. Both spiral galaxies have their own satellite galaxies system. The satellite galaxies system of the Milky Way includes Sagittarius dwarf ellipsoid galaxy (Sagittarius), Large Magellanic Galaxy, Small Magellanic Galaxy, Canine Dwarf System, Ursa Minor Dwarf System, Dragon Dwarf System, Carina Dwarf System, Sextant Dwarf System, Fisherman Dwarf System, Celestial Dwarf System and Leo Dwarf System. Me, Leo II and the cuckoo dwarf system. Satellite galaxies system of Andromeda galaxy includes M32, M 1 10, NGC? NGC？ 185, Andromeda? Andromeda II, Andromeda III and Andromeda IV.

M33 is the third largest galaxy in the local galaxy group. It may or may not be Andromeda's companion galaxy; But what about LGS? Maybe satellite galaxies. The mass of other members of this galaxy group is much less than that of these large subgroups.
