Dwingeloo 1

There’s a galaxy called “Dwingeloo 1“.  That’s the actual, official name, of a whole galaxy.  I’m not sure if that’s the coolest name ever, or one that will cause poor little Dwingeloo to endure countless wedgies when it get’s to Local Group Junior High.  I would guess the Great Andromeda Galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and of course M33 (too tough for a real name) will be gunning for him, though Pegasus Dwarf Irregular and Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal will probably be the real whipping boys of the group.
