Virgo I has an absolute visual magnitude of −0.8 making it one of the least luminous galaxies confirmed thus far.
The galaxy has a radius of 124 light years, (half light radius 38 pc) meaning that it is too big to be a globular cluster.
[2] Cetus II is dimmer, but too small to be classed as a galaxy.
