As for Leo A, it’s actually considered one of the most distant satellite dwarf galaxies from Earth, so it’s not quite as easy to observe as some of our other satellites. For instance, the Hubble Space Telescope has previously observed the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, which is our known closest galaxy, only 25,000 light years from our solar system and about 42,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
Hubble has also made highly detailed observations of other satellite dwarf galaxies like the Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy and the dwarf galaxy NGC 2366, which have all helped to shed more light on galaxy formation and how things might have happened in the younger years of the universe.
