Dwarf Galaxy


Came across this term today, thought of sharing it. Just a little info on a dwarf galaxy.

What's a dwarf galaxy? 
   It is the galaxy which has comparatively lower number of stars than a full fledged galaxy. A full fledged galaxy, like ours, The Milky way, contains about 300-400 billion stars. But a Dwarf galaxy, contains about 2-3 billion stars.
