UGC 10214, also known as the Tadpole Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy exhibiting a 280,000 light-year long tidal tail indicative of galactic interaction. Observation of the Tadpole Galaxy (magnitude ...

Galaxies like our Milky Way grew through cascading mergers of smaller galaxies that began billions of years ago. The ancient progenitors of galaxies like ours were small galaxies similar to modern-day ...

A research team led by physicists at the University of California, Riverside, reports tiny satellite galaxies of the Milky Way can be used to test fundamental properties of “dark matter” — nonluminous ...
