The Closest Galaxy: The Sagittarius Dwarf Credit and Copyright:
The Sagittarius Dwarf is the closest galaxy to our Milky Way. For many years, astronomers thought the Large Magellanic Cloud was closest, but this dim, spread-out galaxy went unnoticed until its discovery in 1994. The Sagittarius Dwarf is difficult to spot because it is so faint and extended across the sky.
