I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.
Great Wikipedia has got greater.

The Boötes Dwarf Galaxy (Boo I dSph) is a galaxy discovered in 2006, which appears faint, with a luminosity of 100,000 L☉ and an absolute magnitude of –5.8. It lies about 197,000 light-years (60.4 kiloparsecs) away in the constellation Boötes. This dwarf spheroidal galaxy appears to be tidally disrupted[1] by the Milky Way Galaxy, which it orbits, and has two stellar tails that cross over to form a cross.[citation needed] Tidally disrupted galaxies usually only form one tail.[citation needed] The galaxy appears to be significantly elongated, with an ellipticity of ε = 0.68 ± 0.15.[3]

Like many of the ultrafaint dwarf spheroidals, the entire galaxy appears fainter than the Rigel system (absolute magnitude –7.84).[4] Even so, it is one of the more luminous UFDs.[5] It is metal-poor, like other UFDs, with a mean metallicity of −2.34.[5]

The stellar population of Boötes I is mostly very old stars. The two populations have essentially the same age, 13.4 billion and 13.3 billion years, respectively, with most of the stars being of the latter population.[6]

Notes

  1. ^ Apparent magnitude = Absolute magnitude + Distance modulus = –5.8[1] + 18.9[1] = 13.1
