Astronomers measure the distance to our closest neighbouring galaxy – and reveal it is just 163,000 light years away
- Large Magellanic Cloud is 163,000 light years away from us
- It is a dwarf galaxy and it floats in space around the Milky Way
- The measurement could help determine the scale of the universe
The distance to our nearest galaxy has been accurately calculated by scientists for the first time.
It is known as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and it lies 163,000 light years away – or 49.97 kiloparsecs to be precise.
The LMC is a dwarf galaxy and it floats in space in a long and slow dance around the Milky Way – a similar relationship to that between Earth and SEE LINK–http://alien-ufo-community.ning.com/forum/topics/6616016:Topic:1844?xg_source=activity

They no longer like the term “dwarf galaxy” They now prefer “little swirly collection of planets and stars…Longer name, I know, but… We must be sensitive about other galaxies space feelings…
Stella nurseries are not galaxies. The nearest galaxy to earth is Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy being 25’000 light years away. That’s still a great distance, it would take 25’000 years to get there IF we could travel at the speed of light.
