  In this Letter, we announce the discovery of a new satellite of the Milky Way
in the constellation of Bootes at a distance of 60 kpc. It was found in a
systematic search for stellar overdensities in the North Galactic Cap using
Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5). The color-magnitude diagram
shows a well-defined turn-off, red giant branch, and extended horizontal
branch. Its absolute magnitude is -5.8, which makes it one of the faintest
galaxies known. The half-light radius is 220 pc. The isodensity contours are
elongated and have an irregular shape, suggesting that Boo may be a disrupted
dwarf spheroidal galaxy.
