Catalogue of Neighbouring Galaxies

The Catalogue of Neighbouring Galaxies is a comprehensive listing of galaxies close to our own Milky Way. It includes details such as their distance from Earth, size, and type. This catalogue helps astronomers study the properties and behaviors of these galaxies, enhancing our understanding of the universe's structure and evolution. By observing nearby galaxies, scientists can gain insights into how galaxies form, interact, and change over time, which is essential for building a bigger picture of cosmic phenomena.
