Wellcome to the Universe. It includes all of space, and all the matter and energy that space contains.Earth and the Moon are part of the universe, as are the other planets and their many dozens of moons.
UGC 4879
Classified as an irregular dwarf galaxy, UGC 4879 is a little smaller and messier than its cosmic cousins, lacking the majestic swirl of a spiral or the coherence of an elliptical.
This galaxy is relatively isolated. Its nearest neighbor is about 2.3 million light-years away!
