Messier 110
Messier 110, or NGC 205, is a dwarf elliptical galaxy located about 2.9 million light years across towards the Andromeda galaxy. Messier 110 is a satellite of this larger galaxy, and comparable in size to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies to our Milky Way.
Messier 110 is sometimes classified as a "spheroidal galaxy" rather than a standard elliptical because it contains dark dust clouds and evidence of star formation, very unusual for an elliptical. Also interesting is a system of eight globular clusters surrounding the comparatively small galaxy.
