Re: SWaB: can the MW be more massive than M31?
Thanks n_FA. Pretty interesting. Maybe it is a good thing the MW doesn't have a mirror to look into.

Well, you know what do to.... If the MW asks "Do I look fat in these spirals?" Say "No dear!" quickly and decisively. Originally Posted by michael131313 Thanks n_FA. Pretty interesting.

Re:
You know, I rather like that term, "dwarf galaxy." In a sense, it is like the opposite of "jumbo shrimp." Originally Posted by GCoyote not_Fritz_Argelander and GCoyote like this.* Celestron C6 on a Twilight 1 Alt-Az mount

I keep scouring the skies for a beautiful spiral with seven dwarf companions..... So far no luck. Originally Posted by AntennaGuy
