The Local Group

Description
The Local Group
Our Galaxy belongs to a poor, irregular cluster that consists of about 40 galaxies,
called the Local Group. This map shows the distribution of about three-quarters
of the galaxies. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are the largest and most
massive galaxies in the Local Group. Andromeda (M31) and the Milky Way are
each surrounded by a dozen satellite galaxies. The recently discovered Canis
Major Dwarf Galaxy is the Milky Way’s nearest known neighbor
