Hubble Space Telescope Spots a Small Star Hidden in the Universe

Him Hubble Space Telescope NASA managed to take an amazing picture in which a a group of bright bright stars on a background of distant stars. It’s about spheroidal galaxy Enana Pegaso, I also know Andromeda VI.

The Andromeda Galaxy, or Messier 31in the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, and, according to experts, it has, at least, 13 dwarf stars revolve around itwith Pegasus, that, like all dwarf spheroidal constellationthey are stars fainter and less involved than known to date. Furthermore, although they have elliptical in shape and closer unity star distribution and is dominated by old and middle starswhile some experienced knowledge of recent star formation, as reported by NASA.

Pegasus: a dwarf galaxy

Discovered in the year Year 1998the spheroidal dwarf galaxy Pegasus presents very few heavy elements and It lacks the gas necessary to form new generations of stars. However, it has much more material than other dwarf spheroidal galaxies within our Local Group, so researchers believe that It is possible that Andromeda’s magnetic field has stripped away the gasses that make up stars, which could slow down the formation of new stars.

“In comparison, some of the Milky Way’s dwarf spheroidal stars contain similar distances some stars head. This may be because Andromeda is so large that its gravitational pull extends“explain the scientists in charge of the study.

“It is not yet possible to establish how spheroidal dwarf stars form. Thoughts as well collisions between galaxies that dissolves the fragments, the iThe gravitational influence of massive stars on small dwarf stars disk-shaped, and processes associated with them where small systems within dark matter clusters“They added from NASA.

It should be noted that both Andromeda and the Milky Way are the only stars close enough for astronomers to observe these faint satellites.therefore, according to the expert, the clues to know how they were created will come from is near the Studio like the one recently made by Hubble of this galaxy and that is part of a testing of the entire Andromeda satellite system who seeks to investigate issues as critical as reionization, dark matter and, especially, the development of galactic ecology on the planet.
