Question: Have you found any galaxies similar to the Milky Way?

Kate Husband answered on 17 Jun 2013:

Yes. There are some that are similar in size, composition (i.e. What they are made of) and age. But the majority of galaxies I look at are much younger than the milky because they are so far away – it takes time for the light from them to get to us and so we see them as they were when the light left the galaxy, millions of years ago.
