First hit I got:

Sagittarius Dwarf http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/S/SagDEG.html
A satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and the second closest external galaxy after the Canis Major Dwarf. It is populated, as is usual for a dwarf elliptical galaxy, by old yellowish stars. Obscured by large amounts of dust in the galactic plane, SagDEG was discovered as recently as 1994. It has four known globular clusters – M54, Arp 2, Terzan 7, and Terzan 8 – of which M54 is easily the brightest and was the first extragalactic globular ever found, by Charles Messier in 1778.
