Size (left) and distance (right) of a few well-known galaxies put to scale. There are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in all of the observable universe. [1] On the order of 100,000 galaxies make up the Local Supercluster, and about 51 galaxies are in the Local Group (see list of nearest galaxies for a complete list).

[1] [2] Moore compiled a list of 109 objects to match the commonly accepted number of Messier objects (he excluded M110 [3]), and the list was published in Sky & Telescope in December 1995. [ 3 ] Moore used his other surname – Caldwell – to name the list, since the initial of "Moore" is already used for the Messier catalogue.
This list uses the mean cosmological parameters of the Lambda-CDM model based on results from the 2015 Planck collaboration, where H 0 = 67.74 km/s/Mpc, Ω Λ = 0.6911, and Ω m = 0.3089. [3] Due to different techniques, each figure listed on the galaxies has varying degrees of confidence in them.
The following is a list of NGC objects, that is objects listed in the New General Catalogue (NGC). It is one of the largest comprehensive astronomical catalogues for deep sky objects such as star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. List of NGC objects (1–1000) List of NGC objects (1001–2000) List of NGC objects (2001–3000)
This is a list of known galaxies within 3.8 megaparsecs (12.4 million light-years) of the Solar System, in ascending order of heliocentric distance, or the distance to the Sun. This encompasses about 50 major Local Group galaxies, and some that are members of neighboring galaxy groups , the M81 Group and the Centaurus A/M83 Group , and some ...
Starfield is currently set to release later this year, on 6 September 2023 on Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows PC.. The game will be locked at 30FPS (frames per second) on both Xbox Series S ...
A video showing in 3D Laniakea and other nearby superclusters of galaxies. The Laniakea Supercluster encompasses approximately 100,000 galaxies stretched out over 160 Mpc (520 million ly). It has the approximate mass of 10 17 solar masses, or 100,000 times that of our galaxy, which is almost the same as that of the Horologium Supercluster. [3]
