Fun Facts about Galaxies
- The closest galaxy to the Milky Way is Andromeda, which is around 2.6 million light years away from us. Many galaxies are more than 100,000 light years across in distance. It takes over two hundred million years for the sun to orbit the center of the galaxy. This is called a galactic year

What are the 4 types galaxies?Scientists have been able to segment galaxies into 4 main types: spiral, elliptical, peculiar, and irregulaWhat is unique about the Milky Way?Our Milky Way is special for its bright, nearby satellite galaxies. At last we are special by a cosmic standard! That is, we live in a galaxy – our star island, the Milky Way – that is among only four percent of similar galaxies with bright, nearby satellitesMilky Way/Age13.61 billion yearsHow Long Does our galaxy have left?Four billion years from now, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbor, Andromeda. The galaxies as we know them will not survive. In fact, our solar system is going to outlive our galaxyHow Long Does our galaxy have left?Four billion years from now, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbor, Andromeda.
