Where is the Pegasus galaxy? When I did a Google search on the Pegasus galaxy, it showed several galaxies in the Pegasus constellation. One is a small companion galaxy of the large Andromeda spiral, and is actually called the Pegasus galaxy. There is also two or three large spiral galaxies that are referred to as the Pegasus galaxy. One is 20 times further away than the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. So which one did our new team go to?

From a picture caption I found:
"The Pegasus dwarf galaxy (center) is a companion of the Andromeda spiral galaxy, approximately 2.5 million light-years from the sun." So essentially Pegasus is 'stuck' to the Andromeda galaxy due to gravity.

I read that our spiral galaxy is about:
80,000-120,000 lightyears across
7,000 lightyears thick
and containing ~ 200 billion stars

What about in refference to the Ida gallaxy, or is that fictional. I've been wonderring about this a lot. It also seems that TPTB have made is appear that the energy required for this trip was more than the energy required for travelling to the Ida gallaxy. Is this a correct assumption? Also, the Asgard have the technology to travel between our galaxy and their within a reasonable amount of time (I'm not sure if it's minutes, hours or days. I know it took Carter and Teal'c ten days to reach Ida with the modified Goa'uld cargo ship). Is it possible for the ASgard to travel to Pegasus ina reasonable amount of time (i.e. months or a couple years)? Just wonderring.
