UGC 5470, [1] PGC 29488, [1] DDO 74, [1] A1006, [1] Harrington-Wilson #1, [1] Regulus Dwarf [1] Leo I is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the constellation Leo . At about 820,000 light-years distant, it is a member of the Local Group of galaxies and is thought to be one of the most distant satellites of the Milky Way galaxy.
DDO 210 (Aquarius Dwarf) in the constellation of Aquarius. DDO 3 (also known as NGC 147, PGC 2004, UGC 326, LEDA 2004 or Caldwell 17) is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy which is located in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia, near the border of Andromeda. It is a small satellite galaxy of the famous Messier 31, which is the largest galaxy in the ...
Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation of Leo (right tip, below is bright Jupiter in 2004). Regulus is a multiple star system consisting of at least four stars and a substellar object. Regulus A is the dominant star, with a binary companion 177" distant that is thought to be physically related.
The James Webb Space Telescope recently took a look at Leo P, a dwarf galaxy, and its patterns of star formation. Leo P formed stars early on, and then stopped.
A dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy composed of about 1000 up to several billion stars, as compared to the Milky Way's 200–400 billion stars. [1] The Large Magellanic Cloud , which closely orbits the Milky Way and contains over 30 billion stars, [ 2 ] is sometimes classified as a dwarf galaxy; others consider it a full-fledged galaxy.
Leo T is a dwarf galaxy situated in the Leo constellation and discovered in 2006 in the data obtained by Sloan Digital Sky Survey. [3] The galaxy is located at the distance of about 409 kpc from the Sun [2] and moves away from the Sun with the velocity of about 35 km/s.
Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy: Milky Way Galaxy: The Monoceros Ring is thought to be the tidal tail of the disrupted CMa dg. [citation needed] Virgo Stellar Stream: Milky Way Galaxy: This is thought to be a completely disrupted dwarf galaxy.

The brighter pair of stars is called Regulus A, which is made up of a large visible bright blue star and its companion, Regulus D, which is possibly a white dwarf, though this is unconfirmed. This smaller companion has a mass of only 0.3 solar masses, while the mass of the larger is 3.8 solar masses.
