Satellite of Milky Way found in retrograde orbit

New observations with National Science Foundation's Robert C.
Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) suggest that what was once
believed to be an intergalactic cloud of unknown distance and
significance, is actually a previously unrecognized satellite
galaxy of the Milky Way orbiting backward around the Galactic
center. 

Jay Lockman of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory
(NRAO) in Green Bank, West Virginia, discovered that this
object, known as "Complex H," is crashing through the outermost
parts of the Milky Way from an inclined, retrograde orbit.

Lockman's findings will be published in the July 1 issue of the
Astrophysical Journal Letters.
