But a dwarf galaxy would seem giant even if you were a giant dwarf.

In fact, it’s one of the dimmest galaxies ever spotted in the universe.

Thickoes, then. It's OK, folks. We're safe I reckon.

According to New Scientist it's actually brighter than our other orbital galaxies. It wasn't detected because it's spread out and therefore ghostly.
