astro.wikisort.org - GalaxyAGC 198691 is a small galaxy with the one of the smallest known metallicities.[1] It has a nickname of Leoncino as it is near Leo Minor.[2] The galaxy appears blue due to the presence of several bright blue stars. There is also an HII region present that contains oxygen.[3] It is important as an indicator of the kind of galaxies first formed in the Universe.[4]
