Describe how galaxies are formed. The universe is made of clusters of galaxies‚ and clusters of clusters of galaxies‚ called super clusters. Galaxies are comprised of tens of millions of stars. Between the stars‚ there are interstellar clouds of gas and dust. The smallest galaxies are called dwarfs while the largest are called giants. Our Milky Way Galaxy is one of three large galaxies in the Local Group of Galaxies. The other large galaxies are the Andromeda Galaxy‚ and Messier 33‚ also in the
