It is about 6.4 million [[light years]] (1.95 [[megaparsec]]s) away from the [[Earth]]. KKR 25 is located outside the [[Local Group]] but the Local group is the nearest [[galaxy group]] with the [[M81 Group]] being the second nearest.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.universetoday.com/tag/kkr-25-dwarf-spheroid-galaxy/ |title=KKR 25 dwarf spheroid galaxy |date=December 22, 2014 |publisher=universetoday.com |access-date=December 19, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |url=https://inspirehep.net/record/1119502/plots?ln=en |title=A unique isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy at D=1.9 Mpc - INSPIRE-HEP |journal=Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society |volume=425 |issue=1 |pages=709–719 |access-date=December 19, 2015|doi=10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21581.x |year=2012 |last1=Makarov |first1=Dmitry |last2=Makarova |first2=Lidia |last3=Sharina |first3=Margarita |last4=Uklein |first4=Roman |last5=Tikhonov |first5=Anton |last6=Guhathakurta |first6=Puragra |last7=Kirby |first7=Evan |last8=Terekhova |first8=Natalya | doi-access=free |bibcode=2012MNRAS.425..709M |arxiv=1206.5545 | s2cid=22656416 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |bibcode=2001A&A...379..407K |title=A new galaxy near the Local Group in Draco |journal=Astronomy and Astrophysics |volume=379 |issue=2 |pages=407–411 |last1=Karachentsev |first1=I.
