Every tumor is different, every patient is different. So how do we know which treatment will work best for the patient and eradicate the cancer? In order to offer a personalised treatment that best ...
In a word: size. Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are much bigger than globular clusters. The Pegasus dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which orbits the famous spiral galaxy M31 in Andromeda, spans 2,000 light-years.
This week’s naked-eye object is for those observers in southerly latitudes. In fact, nobody who observes from north of latitude 26° north can see it. The object is the Southern Pleiades in Carina, ...
Astrophysicists have discovered the presence of transverse rotation (in the plane of the sky) in three dwarf spheroidal galaxies, a very faint type of galaxies and difficult to observe, which are ...
Andromeda III is one of at least 13 dwarf satellite galaxies in orbit around the Andromeda galaxy, or Messier 31, the Milky Way's closest grand spiral galactic neighbor. Andromeda III is a faint, ...

Dwarf galaxies are doomed to look alike

Spheroidal dwarf galaxies are small galaxies that orbit giants like the Milky Way. Though they display very diverse appearances, a recent study reveals they share the same cosmic fate. As if ...
In the widely accepted cold dark matter theory, bound systems form hierarchically through gravitational collapse. Because gravity acts in the same manner on all forms of mass, it is expected that ...
