Another satellite galaxy of the Milky Way is in the Ursa Minor Dwarf galaxy at speroidal Approximately 240,000 ly from Earth.
It's formed by an old age population of stars and does not appear to have any star formation.
The galaxy was discovered in 1954 by Albert George Wilson at Lowell Observatory and in one of the smallest and faintest satellite galaxies.
