<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

galaxies occur at the end <strong>of</strong> a sequence which starts<br />

among the normal elliptical galaxies and passes<br />

through the dwarf ellipticals (such as NGC 147 &<br />

185).<br />

<strong>The</strong> dwarf galaxies in Fornax and Sculptor were the<br />

first discovered followed by those in Draco, Leo ( I &<br />

II) and Ursa Minor. Globular clusters and dwarf<br />

systems do not have semi-stellar nuclei such as<br />

those, which are observed in M32 and NGC 205. <strong>The</strong><br />

faint ellipticals NGC 147 and NGC 185 are<br />

intermediate between dwarf systems and the brighter<br />

elliptical galaxies. NGC 147 has only a faint nucleus<br />

and NGC 185 has no nucleus at all. A new and very<br />

near dwarf galaxy, discovered in 1975, appears to be<br />

disrupting the otherwise regular spiral structure <strong>of</strong> our<br />

galaxy! Dwarf spheroidal systems are difficult to<br />

detect due to their low surface brightness, but it is<br />

estimated ,that a very great number <strong>of</strong> these systems<br />

exist filling the space between the larger and brighter<br />

galaxies.<br />

Motion <strong>of</strong> the Galaxy and the Local Group<br />

Recent investigations (1976) into the nature <strong>of</strong> the<br />

motion <strong>of</strong> our Galaxy and the entire local group <strong>of</strong><br />

galaxies indicates that the Milky Way is moving<br />

almost edge-on through space and that the leading<br />

edge is in the anticancer direction. Our galaxy along<br />

with the local group appears to be moving with an<br />

approximate velocity <strong>of</strong> 454 km/sec toward a point in<br />

the constellation Perseus, roughly in the direction <strong>of</strong><br />

NGC 1499, the California Nebula. <strong>The</strong> direction is as<br />

listed:<br />
