One of the most nearby Dwarf ellipticals (dEs) is M32, a satellite of the Andromeda galaxy. In 1944 Walter Baade confirmed dwarf ellipticals NGC147 and NGC185 as members of the Local Group by resolving them into individual stars. Resolving stars in NGC147 and NGC185 was only possible because these dEs are very nearby galaxies. In the 1950s, dEs were also discovered in the nearby Fornax and Virgo clusters.
