I have a problem I can't seem to find the solution to. It's
relatively easy.

I have a collection of 25000 observations of 8 variables.

I want to find entries which are similar to each other.
There must be an easy way, can someone perhaps suggest
something?

i.e. each entry is a galaxy with 8 parameters, I want to
find a galaxy which has similar properties to one I select.
