|} M110 (also known as NGC 205) is a dwarf elliptical galaxy about 2.9 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. M110 is a satellite galaxy of the famous Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and therefore a member of the Local group of galaxies. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1773. M110 is the brightest satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy. M110 contains some dust and hints of recent star formation, which is unusual for a galaxy of its type. See alsoExternal link
