Dwarf galaxies News
Most of these tiny tots called dwarf galaxies form stars at a much slower rate than the massive ones
Some dwarf galaxies are seen forming new stars at a mass-normalized rate 10-100 times more than that of the Milky-way galaxy
These activities, however, do not last longer than a few tens of million-years, a period which is much shorter than the age of these galaxies
The researchers were able to show that 14 of the 16 satellite galaxies follow the same pattern of movement and are likely rotating within the plane around the main galaxy.
Scientists have discovered supermassive black holes in two ultra-compact dwarf galaxies.
As per NASA, dwarf galaxies like NGC 5264 typically possess around a billion stars – just 1 percent of the number of stars found within the Milky Way.
A survey has found more celestial neighbours hovering near our Milky Way, suggesting that our sky is more crowded than we thought
