The SAGA Survey team has identified 378 satellite galaxies across 101 Milky Way-mass systems, with the Milky Way hosting four satellites, which makes it unique compared to other systems., The Milky Way appears to have fewer satellites due to acquiring the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds relatively recently, making it an outlier among similar galaxy systems., Satellite galaxies located closer to their host galaxy tend to have their star formation suppressed, indicating environmental factors play a role in shaping the life cycle of small satellite galaxies., The SAGA Survey team's data release provides more than 30 galaxy ecosystems to compare with our own, offering valuable insights into the impact of massive satellites on the systems they reside in., The SAGA Survey team has published new distance measurements for about 46,000 galaxies, enabling a wide range of topics beyond satellite galaxies to be studied by the astronomy community., The SAGA Survey team's findings are a significant advancement in understanding galaxy evolution, offering new insights into satellite systems, star formation properties, and theoretical models of galaxy formation.
