The Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy that was discovered in 1990 by Mike Irwin M.T. Bridgeland P.S. Bunclark and R.G. McMahon as the 8th satellite of the Milky Way and is named fittingly as it is located in the constellation of Sextans. It is also an elliptical galaxy and displays a redshift because it is receding from the Sun at 224 km/s (72 km/s from the Galaxy).
