    The `Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy` (`SagDEG`) is an elliptically looped shaped satellite galaxy of the Milky Way Galaxy. The main cluster which, in 1994, was the first to be discovered, is roughly 10,000 light-years in diameter, and is currently about 70,000 light-years from Earth and traveling in a polar orbit at a distance of about 50,000 light-years from the core of the Milky Way (about 1/3 the distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud). S...

  6. Satellite galaxy
    A `satellite galaxy` orbits a larger galaxy, due to gravitational attraction. Though a galaxy is made of a large number of objects (such as stars, planets, and nebulae) which are not connected to each other, it has a center of mass, which represents a weighted average (by mass) of the positions of each component object. This is similar to how an everyday object has a center of mass which is the weighted average of the positions of all its compone...

  7. satellite galaxy
    A small galaxy – typically an irregular or dwarf system – in orbit around a much larger, more massive one. Our own Galaxy, for example, has several satellite galaxies, including the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
