The Antlia Dwarf, a 14. 8 < sup > m </ sup > dwarf spheroidal galaxy that belongs to our Local Group of galaxies.

Ingrid Fromm, Siemens ' representative to IEEE 802, quickly achieved broader support for Ethernet beyond IEEE by the establishment of a competing Task Group " Local Networks " within the European standards body ECMA TC24.

The Fornax Dwarf galaxy is a dwarf galaxy that is part of the Local Group of galaxies.

This would put it far outside our Milky Way galaxy, which is about a hundred thousand light years in diameter, and indeed outside the Local Group and even the Virgo Supercluster ; however, at this distance it would still be within the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex.

The Milky Way galaxy is a member of an association named the Local Group, a relatively small group of galaxies that has a diameter of approximately one megaparsec.

The Local Group itself is a part of a cloud-like structure within the Virgo Supercluster, a large, extended structure of groups and clusters of galaxies centered on the Virgo Cluster.

Our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, is contained in the Local Group of more than 40 galaxies.

Every galaxy of sufficient mass in the Local Group has an associated group of globular clusters, and almost every large galaxy surveyed has been found to possess a system of globular clusters.

Theories intended to explain these unusual clouds include materials left over from the formation of our galaxy, or tidally-displaced matter drawn away from other galaxies or members of the Local Group.

A member of the Local Group of galaxies, irregular galaxy Sextans A is 4. 3 million light-years distant.

The Local Group is the group of galaxies that includes Earth's galaxy, the Milky Way.

The galaxies of the Local Group cover a diameter of ( see 1 E + 22 m for distance comparisons ) and have a binary ( dumbbell ) distribution.

* 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.

* The membership of NGC 3109, and its companions Sextans A and the Antlia Dwarf, is uncertain due to their extreme distance from the center of the Local Group.

The term " The Local Group " was introduced by Edwin Hubble in Chapter VI of his book The Realm of the Nebulae ( Hubble 1936, pp. 124 – 151 ).

He also identified IC 10 as a possible Local Group member.

By 2003, the number of known Local Group members has increased from his initial twelve to thirty-six, by way of the discovery of almost two dozen low-luminosity galaxies.

The IC 342 / Maffei Group ( also known as the IC 342 Group or the Maffei 1 Group ) is the nearest group of galaxies to the Local Group.

The approximate center of the group is located at a distance of 3. 6 Mpc, making it one of the nearest groups to the Local Group.

The M81 Group, the Local Group, and other nearby groups all lie within the Virgo Supercluster ( i. e. the Local Supercluster ).

With the exception of supernovae, individual stars have primarily been observed in our Local Group of galaxies, and especially in the visible part of the Milky Way ( as demonstrated by the detailed star catalogues available for our

The group is one of the closest groups of galaxies to the Local Group ; the distance to the center of the group from the Milky Way is approximately.

The LMC is the fourth largest galaxy in the Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy ( M31 ), our own Milky Way Galaxy, and the Triangulum Galaxy ( M33 ).

This could either mean Krypton is millions of lightyears away, well past the Andromeda Galaxy ( making it the most remote of its various locations in any Superman story to date ), or located in one of the dwarf galaxies closer to the Milky Way in the Local Group.

The two Magellanic Clouds ( or Nubeculae Magellani ) are irregular dwarf galaxies visible from the southern hemisphere, which are members of our Local Group and are orbiting our Milky Way galaxy.

The Virgo Supercluster ( Virgo SC ) or Local Supercluster ( LSC or LS ) is the irregular supercluster that contains the Virgo Cluster in addition to the Local Group, which in turn contains the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies.

The Virgo Supercluster's volume is very approximately 7000 times that of the Local Group or 100 billion times that of the Milky Way.

If our universe is approaching a de Sitter universe then eventually we will not be able to observe any galaxies other than our own Milky Way ( and any others in the gravitationally bound Local Group, assuming they were to somehow survive to that time without merging ).

* The Andromeda Galaxy is moving toward our own Milky Way galaxy within the Local Group ; thus, when observed from earth, its light is undergoing a blueshift.

Other important tasks would have included collecting data to help pinpoint stellar masses for specific types of stars, assisting in the determination of the spatial distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way and in the Local Group of galaxies and using the gravitational microlensing effect to measure the mass of stars.

The Local Bubble is a cavity in the interstellar medium ( ISM ) in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way which contains the Local Interstellar Cloud and G-cloud ( as well as others ).

It is at least 300 light years across and has a neutral hydrogen density of about 0. 05 atoms per cubic centimetre, or approximately one tenth of the average for the ISM in the Milky Way ( 0. 5 atoms / cc ), and one sixth of the " Local Fluff ", or Local Interstellar Cloud ( 0. 3 atoms / cc ).

At approximately 11. 7 Mly ( 3. 6 Mpc ) from the Earth, it makes this group and the Local Group, containing the Milky Way, relative neighbors in the Virgo Supercluster.

For comparison, there were observed to be around 38 dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, and only around 11 orbiting the Milky Way, ( for a detailed and more up to date list see Milky Way's satellite galaxies ) yet one dark matter simulation predicted around 500 Milky Way dwarf satellites.

There are many dwarf galaxies in the Local Group: these small galaxies frequently orbit around larger galaxies, such as the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy.

Local authorities ( e. g. Southampton City Council ) are responsible for regulating public rights of way and enforcing Rights of Way legislation ( Legislation. gov. uk, 2010 ).

" The Way It Always Starts ", another song written during the Love Over Gold sessions, ended up on Knopfler's soundtrack to the film Local Hero with vocals sung by Gerry Rafferty.

It is a member of the Local group, and is a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy ( M31 ).

Andromeda I is part of the Local group of galaxies and a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy ( M31 ).
