Hercules, or Her, is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy situated in the Hercules constellation and discovered in 2006 in data obtained by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
 The galaxy is located at a distance of about 140 kpc from the Sun and moves away from the Sun with a velocity of about 45 km/s.
 It is classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph).
 Her has a noticeably elongated (ratio of axes ~ 3:1) shape with a half-light radius of about 350 pc.
 This elongation may be caused by tidal forces acting from the Milky Way galaxy, meaning that Her is being tidally disrupted now.
 Her also shows some gradient of velocities across the galaxy's body and is embedded into a faint stellar stream, which also points towards its ongoing tidal disruption.
An intermediate spiral galaxy is a galaxy that is in between the classifications of a barred spiral galaxy and an unbarred spiral galaxy.
 It is designated as SAB in the galaxy morphological classification scheme.
 By definition, a galaxy is a congregation of stars held together by gravity.
 The first intermediate spiral galaxy discovered is the Milky Way, by Galileo, in 1610.
 He was the first person with a telescope powerful enough to make such a discovery.
 Before Galileo, it was thought that all bright objects in the sky were either the planets in the Solar System, moons, comets, or stars.
 Until the beginning on the twentieth century, astronomers did not know the size of the Universe, but speculated it to be about as big as the Milky Way.
 In 1920, at the National Academy of Science, there was a big debate between Harlow Shapley and Heber D. Curtis on whether nebulae are small globular clusters surrounding the Milky Way, or separate galaxies located farther away.
 Nothing was resolved at the debate; neither side was able to provide conclusive evidence to prove their side correct over their opponent.
 In 1923, Edwin Hubble resolved the matter with a photograph that he took of the Andromeda Galaxy.
 What he found in his photograph was a very bright light source pulsing at a certain rate, a Cepheid variable, located outside the Milky Way.
 This can be used to determine the distance to it.
 Hubble proved that the Universe was full of galaxies, and disproved that the Milky Way was the extent of the Universe.
 There are many types of galaxies in the Universe, elliptical, barred spiral galaxies; they vary in shape and size, but on average spiral galaxies are the most abundant.
Canes Venatici I or CVn I is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy situated in the Canes Venatici constellation and discovered in 2006 in the data obtained by Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
 It is one of the most distant known satellites of the Milky Way as of 2011 together with Leo I and Leo II.
 The galaxy is located at a distance of about 220 kpc from the Sun and is moving away from the Sun at a velocity of about 31 km/s.
 It is classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) meaning that it has an elliptical (ratio of axes ~ 2.5:1) shape with the half-light radius of about 550 pc.
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
 At a distance of 50 kiloparsecs (≈163,000 light-years), the LMC is the third-closest galaxy to the Milky Way, after the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal (~ 16 kpc) and the putative Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy (~ 12.9 kpc, though its status as a galaxy is under dispute), lying close to the Galactic Center.
 The LMC has a diameter of about 14000 ly based on readily visible stars and a mass of approximately 10 billion Sun masses (10 solar masses), making it roughly 1/100 as massive as the Milky Way.
 Based on this, the LMC is the fourth-largest galaxy in the Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Milky Way, and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33).
 However, an emerging case for the LMC and the SMC being gravitationally bound, along with much of the material in the Magellanic Bridge plus Stream, traveling at a velocity too high to be in orbit with the Milky Way, suggests a total mass of up to 25% of the Milky Way (arXiv:1507.03594v2).
The Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy that was discovered in 1990 by Mike Irwin as the 8th satellite of the Milky Way, located in the constellation of Sextans.
 It is also an elliptical galaxy, and displays a redshift because it is receding from the Sun at 224 km/s (72 km/s from the Galaxy).
 The distance to the galaxy is 320,000 light-years and the diameter is 8,400 light-years along its major axis.
The Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy is a dwarf galaxy in the Carina constellation.
 It was discovered in 1977 with the UK Schmidt Telescope by Cannon et al.
 The Carina Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and is receding from it at 230 km/s.
 The diameter of the galaxy is about 1600 light-years, which is 75 times smaller than the Milky Way.
 Most of the stars in the galaxy formed 7 billion years ago, although it also experienced bursts of star formation about 13 and 3 billion years ago.
 It is also being tidally disrupted by the Milky Way galaxy.
The Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy (also known as Sculptor Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy or the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy) is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy that is a satellite of the Milky Way.
 The galaxy lies within the constellation Sculptor.
 It was discovered in 1937 by American astronomer Harlow Shapley using the 24-inch Bruce refractor at Boyden Observatory.
 The galaxy is located about 290,000 light-years away from the Solar System.
 The Sculptor Dwarf contains only 4 percent of the carbon and other heavy elements in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, making it similar to primitive galaxies seen at the edge of the universe.
An elliptical galaxy is a type of galaxy having an approximately ellipsoidal shape and a smooth, nearly featureless brightness profile.
 Unlike flat spiral galaxies with organization and structure, they are more three-dimensional, without much structure, and their stars are in somewhat random orbits around the center.
 They are one of the three main classes of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work "The Realm of the Nebulae", along with spiral and lenticular galaxies.
 Elliptical galaxies range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flat and in size from tens of millions to over one hundred trillion stars. Originally Edwin Hubble hypothesized that elliptical galaxies evolved into spiral galaxies, which was later discovered to be false.
 Stars found inside of elliptical galaxies are on average much older than stars found in spiral galaxies.
The Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sgr dSph), also known as the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy (Sgr dE or Sag DEG), is an elliptical loop-shaped satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
 It consists of four globular clusters, the main cluster having been discovered in 1994.
 Sgr dSph is roughly 10,000 light-years in diameter, and is currently about 70,000 light-years from Earth, travelling in a polar orbit (i.e. an orbit passing over the Milky Way’s galactic poles) at a distance of about 50,000 light-years from the core of the Milky Way (about 1/3 the distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud).
 In its looping, spiraling path, it has passed through the plane of the Milky Way several times in the past.
Ursa Major II Dwarf (UMa II dSph) is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy situated in the Ursa Major constellation and discovered in 2006 in the data obtained by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
 The galaxy is located approximately 30 kpc from the Sun and moves towards the Sun with the velocity of about 116 km/s.
 It is classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) meaning that it has an elliptical (ratio of axes ~ 2:1) shape with the half-light radius of about 140 pc.
