I remember the news about the finding of that galaxy back in 94 and that it was
being " Eaten " by ours. As the article states, they named that very small
galaxy that name because our radio telescopes have to look threw that Cont. to
see it.

I've told many people about it while doing Sidewalk Astronomy.

towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

This is news to me. I always thought the Magellanic Clouds were our nearest
neighbour and Andromeda beyond that. And I always thought Sagittarius was a
constellation.
