How special is the Milky Way galaxy? Survey team releases new findings

Is our home galaxy, the Milky Way galaxy, a special place? A team of scientists started a journey to answer this question more than a decade ago. Commenced in 2013, the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey studies galaxy systems like the Milky Way. Now, the SAGA Survey has published three new research articles on the arXiv preprint server that provide us with new insights into the uniqueness of our own Milky Way galaxy after completing the census of 101 satellite systems similar to the Milky Way's.
