Scientists Unveil Tiniest Galaxy Yet Discovered: "A Functional Human Sized Down to a Grain of Rice"
Astronomers have identified a group of small galaxies situated approximately 3 million light-years distant that encompasses the least massive and dimmest galaxy detected so far. This galaxy, labeled as Andromeda XXXV, along with its companions circling around our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, might alter our perspective cosmic evolution. This is because dwarf galaxies of such a tiny size ought to have been obliterated under the warmer and more crowded circumstances prevalent during those periods. early universe And yet, for some reason, this small galaxy managed to survive without being destroyed. Despite their full functionality, these galaxies are approximately one-millionth the size of our Milky Way galaxy," stated team member and University of Michigan professor Eric Bell. He compared this phenomenon to imagining a completely normal person shrunk down to the size of a single grain of rice. Meet Andromeda XXXV Dwarf galaxies are not unfamiliar to scienti...
