In astrophysics, there are galaxies and what are known as dwarf galaxies. The name is not an illusion. Dwarf galaxies are considerably smaller in light-year distance width. With the Milky Way in mind, there are 12 of these mini galaxies right nearby. For instance, the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy ironically enough the same distance away as the Milky Way, is across 100,000 light-years. Many people catch a neat trick in astrophysics. There is also the Small Magellanic Cloud, easily mistaken for the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Small Magellanic Cloud is twice as far away as the Milky Way is wide, 200,000 light-years away and only 7,000 light-years across, but with a galactic arm reaching out, it spans across 19,000 light-years. A new neighbor is M42, which we call the Orion Nebula, not to be confused with the hunter, the Orion constellation. The dwarf galaxy Orion is 15,000 light-years away. This tiny nebula is only 24 light-years across.
