Description
A satellite galaxy is a smaller companion galaxy that travels on bound orbits within the gravitational potential of a more massive and luminous host galaxy (also known as the primary galaxy).
Our sun is part of a massive collection of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. These hundreds of billions of stars orbit the galaxy’s center.
Satellite galaxies and their constituents are bound to their host galaxy, in the same way that planets within our own solar system are gravitationally bound to the Sun.
These less massive galaxies have their own impressive collection of stars, which all orbit their own center; but the galaxies and everything in them orbit our galaxy too. It’s as if our galaxy is the sun and those other galaxies are planets. Astronomers call them “satellite galaxies.”
While most satellite galaxies are dwarf galaxies, satellite galaxies of large galaxy clusters can be much more massive.The Milky Way is orbited by about fifty satellite galaxies, the largest of which is the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Lovely as ever. Well done! The Last few day's of the year 2019 gives one time for reflection. I can't help being thankful for all the support FAA artists give one another all year long. May your 2020 be the best ever. FAVORITE! And found out moments ago of Dave Farrow's passing. I miss him and know that heaven has a new artist and a grand soul among them.
