The SagDEG wasn't discovered until 1994, both because it is very dim, and because it was obscured by the central part of our galaxy. Though this galaxy is quite big (about 10,000 light years across), it will likely be disrupted by the tidal forces from the Milky Way galaxy. 1, record 1, English, - Sagittarius%20dwarf%20elliptical%20galaxy
