“THE MILKY WAY”

.

*the local group is the ‘galaxy group’ that includes the ‘milky way’*

.

(the ‘local group’ comprises more than 54 ‘galaxies’, most of them ‘dwarf galaxies’)

.

(its ‘gravitational center’ is located somewhere between the ‘milky way’ and the ‘andromeda galaxy’)

(the ‘local group’ covers a diameter of 10 mly (3.1 mpc) (about 1023 meters) and has a ‘binary’ (aka ‘dumbbell’) distribution)

(the group itself is a part of the larger ‘virgo supercluster’, which in turn may be a part of the ‘laniakea supercluster’)

(the 2 most massive members of the group are the ‘milky way’ and the ‘andromeda galaxies’)

(these two ‘spiral galaxies’ have each a system of ‘satellite galaxies’)

(milky way’s ‘satellite galaxies system’ comprises ‘sagittarius dwarf galaxy’, ‘large magellanic cloud’, ‘small magellanic cloud’, ‘canis major dwarf’, ‘ursa minor dwarf’, ‘draco dwarf’, ‘carina dwarf’, ‘sextans dwarf’, ‘sculptor dwarf’, ‘fornax dwarf’, ‘leo I’, ‘leo II’, and ‘ursa major I dwarf’ and ‘ursa major II dwarf’, plus several additional ultra-faint ‘dwarf spheroidal galaxies’)

(the andromeda galaxy’s ‘satellite system’ consists of ‘messier 32’ (‘m32’), ‘messier 110’ (‘m110’), ‘NGC 147’, ‘NGC 185’, ‘andromeda I’ (and ‘I’), and ‘II’, and ‘III’, and ‘IV’, and ‘V’, ‘pegasus dSph’ (aka And ‘VI’), ‘cassiopeia dwarf’ (aka and ‘VII’), and ‘VIII’, and ‘IX’, and ‘X’, and ‘XI’, and ‘XIX’, and ‘XXI’ and and XXII, plus several additional ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies)

(the ‘triangulum galaxy’, the third largest and only unbarred ‘spiral galaxy’ in the ‘local group’, may or may not be a companion to the ‘andromeda galaxy’)

(‘pisces dwarf’ is equidistant from the ‘andromeda galaxy’ and the ‘triangulum galaxy’, so it may be a ‘satellite’ of either)

(the membership of ‘NGC 3109’, with its companions ‘sextans A’ and the ‘antlia dwarf’, is uncertain due to extreme distances from the center of the ‘local group’)

.

(the other members of the ‘group’ are gravitationally secluded from these large subgroups…)
