Even though it is relatively nearby at 300 million light years from Earth, the galaxy, named Dragonfly 44, had been missed by astronomers for decades because it is very dim.  The discovery of this dim object heralds in a new class of galaxies that have become known as ‘dark galaxies’ or ‘ultra diffuse galaxies’ because they contain relatively few stars, yet have a mass equal to our own Milky Way with hundreds of billions of stars.It was only discovered recently, in 2015, when the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, then a small collection of 24 commercially available 400mm telephoto lenses, looked towards a region of sky in the constellation Coma.But as astronomers looked closer using larger telescopes with specialized instruments, they realized this dim, tiny galaxy was more than meets the eye - literally.  It contained so few stars. There were so few stars in this galaxy that there was no way they could all stay together as a gravitationally bound object - they would simply fly apart.  So what was keeping the stars in Dragonfly 44 together?Astronomers had pretty good idea: dark matter.Dragonfly 44 imagePieter van Dokkum / Roberto Abraham / Gemini Observatory / SDSS / AURA.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. The star wars universe centered in this galaxy has of course been the center of many stories filled with action intrigue and mindless cash grabs for toy licensing, but it is also home to an amazingly developed economy.No fictional universe that I know of has the level of depth that the star wars universe has garnered, from the movies, the games, the books, and even the fan fiction it has all built a surprisingly tangible reality in this fictional universe. A large part of that reality is the surprisingly realistic economy that has been fleshed out in the narrative of the star wars universe. The economics of galactic trade and military spending is a long way from the center of the stories but it is still a foundation that whether intended or not gives an added layer of realism to a science-fiction franchise about space wizards.

The Amazing Universe: Galaxies

Stars and Galaxies: Introduction

Sometimes galaxies eat each other! It's actually pretty common. And it turns out that our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is pretty hungry.

Our Galaxy Is a Cannibal

We've been trying to count the galaxies in the universe since the mid '90s, but our estimates change as our tools improve. So what does our current estimate really mean?

How Many Galaxies Are There?

You're probably used to real galaxies having curves, except not all of them seem to have gotten the memo.

There’s a Rectangle Galaxy?

Our Milky Way galaxy is alive and well, producing new stars all the time. But there’s another group of galaxies out there, populated only by venerable red dwarf stars - the young stars are nowhere to be seen. In effect, these galaxies are... dead. How did they die?

How to Kill a Galaxy

Journey to the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy and learn about the supermassive black hole lurking there.

The Galaxy's Heart of Darkness

On August 25, 2003, NASA launched the Spitzer Space Telescope. Designed to peer into the infrared region of the spectrum, this instrument was designed to pierce the veil of dust and gas blocking visible light and look deeper into galaxies, where young stars are born.

The Hole in the Andromeda Galaxy

Active galaxies pour out lots of energy, due to their central supermassive black holes gobbling down matter. Galaxies tend not to be loners, but instead exist in smaller groups and larger clusters. Our Milky Way is part of the Local Group, and will one day collide with the Andromeda galaxy. Clusters of galaxies also clump together to form superclusters, the largest structures in the Universe. In total, there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the Universe.

Galaxies, part 2

The Milky Way is our neighborhood in the universe. It’s a galaxy and there are many others out there. Galaxies contain gas, dust, and billions of stars or more. They come in four main shapes: elliptical, spiral, peculiar, and irregular. Galaxies can collide, and grow in size by eating each other.
