2. The Local Group is dominated by two other large galaxies, the Andromedia Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy.
3. There are over 30 small galaxies in the local group. The best known of the small galaxies are the Large and small Magellanic Clouds about 179,000 light years distance. The LMC and SMC are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way.
4. The Andromeda Galaxy has satelite galaxies, M32 and M110.
