However, nothing you see with the naked eye is that old.

The Local Group itself is part of a larger gathering of galaxies called the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.

The Andromeda Galaxy is part of this group as are numerous smaller galaxies, including the Magellanic Clouds.

The Milky Way is a large barred spiral galaxy. The overall universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Almost as old as the universe, so over 13 billion years old. The Milky Way Galaxy is about 13.5 billion years old. It turns out that the oldest of the globular clusters surrounding our galaxy are about 13 billion years old, which means the Milky Way must be at least that old. In 2011, Mars introduced a small size (marketed as fun size ) … The Milky Way began forming around 12 billion years ago and is part of a group of about 50 galaxies called the Local Group. The cooler the white dwarfs in a globular cluster, the older it is. A new estimate of the age of our Milky Way Galaxy suggests it was an original member of the universe, having been born just about as early on as was possible. It's very difficult to define the age of the Milky Way Galaxy, but the age of the oldest star in the Galaxy yet discovered is estimated to be about 13.2 billion years. Once a white dwarf forms, it has no way to produce new energy, so it gradually cools. Our Sun (a star) and all the planets around it are part of a galaxy known as the Milky Way Galaxy.A galaxy is a large group of stars, gas, and dust bound together by gravity.They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. It contains about 400,000 stars. In 2010, the Milky Way Simply Caramel bar went on sale, a version with caramel covered in milk chocolate and without nougat.
