GAMA202627 (also known as G202627 or PGC 165514) is a barred spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way, located 700 million light-years from Earth in the Hydra constellation.

The galaxy was described in a 2012 paper[1] by astronomer Dr Aaron Robotham, jointly from the University of Western Australia node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) and the University of St Andrews in Scotland, when he searched for groups of galaxies similar to ours in the most detailed map of the local Universe yet, the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey (GAMA).

[2] The Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey is an international collaboration led from ICRAR and the Australian Astronomical Observatory to map our local Universe in closer detail.

In total we found 14 galaxy systems that are similar to ours, with two of those being an almost exact match.

"[3] The Milky Way is surrounded by its close companions, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are visible in the southern sky.
