context_page_description: Antlia-Sextans Group is a small grouping at the constellations Hydra, Sextans and Antlia. It is thought by some researchers to be at the very edge of the Local Group and thus part of it. Howewer, other researchers indicate it is an independent group, and thus the nearest group to the Local Group. It is, on average, approximately 4.3 million light-years away from the Milky Way.
context_section_description: Antlia-Sextans Group is made by five members. They are NGC 3109, Sextans A, Sextans B, Antlia Dwarf and Leo P. Leo A is candidate for member, but highly unlikely.
