A Hubble Space Telescope image of SagDIG
An irregular dwarf galaxy at the far southern edge of the Local Group of galaxies. In the skies of Earth it appears in the constellation Sagittarius. While it is generally referred to as part of the Local Group, it is actually slightly over the Group's joint gravitational boundary and can therefore be considered outside it (as Kit does when passing through that neighborhood).
The planet Metemne orbits a star at the edge of SagDIG. (WAW)
