Abstract
- Observing the Fornax Dwarf presents a similar visual challenge as the Sculptor Dwarf, including the galaxy's very low surface brightness and southerly declination. OBSERVING In 1938, Harvard astronomer Harlow Shapley announced the discovery of a large but inconspicuous galaxy in Sculptor with an unusually low luminosity. Sculptor and Fornax The Sculptor Dwarf is a low-mass satellite of the Milky Way at a distance of 270,000 light-years. [Extracted from the article]
