<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

## Zodiac Latitude Name<br />

"Snickers"<br />

A new member <strong>of</strong> our Local Group was discovered in<br />

1975. It is a dwarf satellite <strong>of</strong> our galaxy, like the two<br />

Magellanic Clouds, but is located at less than a third<br />

<strong>of</strong> their distance! It has been hidden behind the rim or<br />

equatorial plane <strong>of</strong> the galaxy, the very nearest part <strong>of</strong><br />

that rim, in Gemini and Auriga. It was detected only by<br />

its rapidly moving hydrogen clouds. It is estimated<br />

that 1 percent <strong>of</strong> the stars <strong>of</strong> magnitude 15 and below<br />

which appear in this part <strong>of</strong> the Milky Way must really<br />

belong to this new galaxy. <strong>The</strong> little galaxy is brushing<br />

so close to the Milky Way that is has been torn out<br />

into the shape <strong>of</strong> a long streamer by tidal forces;<br />
