  2. Milky Way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way

    The Local Group, a cluster of gravitationally bound galaxies containing, among others, the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, is part of a supercluster called the Local Supercluster, centered near the Virgo Cluster: although they are moving away from each other at 967 km/s (2,160,000 mph) as part of the Hubble flow, this velocity is less than ...

    IC 1296 is an extremely faint barred spiral galaxy of Hubble-type SBbc in the constellation Lyra in the northern sky. It is estimated to be 238 million light-years from the Milky Way and about 120,000 light-years in diameter. [1] IC 1296 is only 4 arc minutes away from the well-known Ring Nebula in the night sky.

    Hubble's findings fundamentally changed the scientific view of the universe. Supporters state that Hubble's discovery of nebulae outside of our galaxy helped pave the way for future astronomers. [30] Although some of his more renowned colleagues simply scoffed at his results, Hubble ended up publishing his findings on nebulae.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Group

    The term "The Local Group" was introduced by Edwin Hubble in Chapter VI of his 1936 book The Realm of the Nebulae. [11] There, he described it as "a typical small group of nebulae which is isolated in the general field" and delineated, by decreasing luminosity, its members to be M31, Milky Way, M33, Large Magellanic Cloud, Small Magellanic Cloud, M32, NGC 205, NGC 6822, NGC 185, IC 1613 and ...

    1923 — Edwin Hubble resolves the Shapley–Curtis debate by finding Cepheids in the Andromeda Galaxy, definitively proving that there are other galaxies beyond the Milky Way. 1930 — Robert Trumpler uses open cluster observations to quantify the absorption of light by interstellar dust in the galactic plane ; this absorption had plagued ...

    Measurements with the Hubble Space Telescope in 2006 suggest the Magellanic Clouds may be moving too fast to be orbiting the Milky Way. [3] Of the galaxies confirmed to be in orbit, the largest is the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy, which has a diameter of 2.6 kiloparsecs (8,500 ly) [4] or roughly a twentieth that of the Milky Way.
