Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a group of about 50 galaxies called the Local Group. Most of these are small dwarf galaxies, with the only galaxy larger than our own being Andromeda. Recently, for the first time ever, scientists have been able to detect complex molecules in a galaxy outside of this group: the Sculptor Galaxy (or NGC 253), located 11.4 million light years away.
