The Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy is a small, irregular galaxy located about 300,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Sculptor. It is one of the closest galaxies to our Milky Way and is classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, meaning it has a low luminosity and lacks significant structure. Discovered in 1937, the Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy contains a mix of old stars and some younger ones, but it has very little gas and dust. This galaxy is part of the Local Group, which includes the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, and is thought to have formed early in the universe's history.
