Dwarf Galaxy

A dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy composed all the way to several billion superstars, a small number compared to our own Milky Way’s 200–400 million stars. The Significant Magellanic Cloud, which closely orbits this Milky Way possesses over 30 million stars, is sometimes classified as being a dwarf galaxy; others ponder over it a full-fledged universe.
