Boötes Dwarf (The Boo dSph)
ra: 14:00:06 - Dec: +14:30:00 - 197,000 ly - Spheroidal
Keep moving away from the Milky Way, after the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) we encounter the Boötes Dwarf Galaxy, located at a distance of 197,000 a.l. from Earth.
The galaxy appears to be a spheroid highly disturbed by the gravitational tidal wave of our Galaxy that have stripped away a lot number of stars that now formed a double cross-shaped tail.
It's the fainter galaxy near us and was discovered width the SDSS (Sloan Ditigal Sky Survey) data only in 2006.

Nana Boot (The Boo dSph)
ra: 14:00:06 - Dec: +14:30:00 - to 197,000 - iron
continue to distance themselves from the Milky Way, after the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we find the dwarf galaxy in Bootes at a distance of 197,000 to the Earth.
The galaxy appears as a spheroid greatly disturbed by the gravitational tidal forces of our Galaxy that have stripped away many stars that now form a double cross-shaped tail.
It 's the fainter galaxies near us and was discovered thanks to the data of the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) in 2006.
