dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky WayYou can't say dwarf galaxy. That's insulting to small galaxies.
That is a microaggression.

The largest in terms of breadth is the Sagittarius dwarf... The largest is a dwarf?

Whatever happened to the TAU project? The one to send a telescope Thousands of Astronomical Units up out of the plane of the Milky Way? It would give us a clearer view of our own galaxy and hangers on and a good baseline for accurate triangulation.

It's a breadth-challenged galaxy.
The light from that galaxy left it 380,000 years ago. Who knows what it looks like now? Maybe it has put on some weight since then.

I hope they don’t have a Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

In about 25,000 years. Maybe.

To prevent war, the galaxy is on Orion’s belt.

Thanks! Saw it earlier and completely forgot it during a hunt through open tabs. This will be an X-Planets ping, and an extra to APoD.

I hope they dont have a Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. Don't worry, it was stolen my some Earth creature.
