Noted a discrepancy in mass between the main description as '1/100th of the mass of the Milky Way' and the data box which says 1.38 x 10^11 or 13 billion solar masses - ~ 1/10th the mass of the Milky Way. My guess is that the real answer is 1.38 x 10^10 solar masses which fits with the size of the Small Magellanic cloud.. 90.250.164.236 ( talk) 19:25, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
