Discovered "germs" of the Milky Way

Astrophysicists discovered two dwarf galaxies awakened. The star they started after the system moved from the space into the space of emptiness, a rich gas-dust matter. Because such systems can form larger galaxies. The study is published in The Astrophysical Journal magazine briefly about it informs NASA.

Pisces Dwarf galaxy A is located at a distance of 19 million light years from Earth, and the fish in - 30 million. Their age is estimated at 100 million years. During about the same time the speed of the star in their doubled.

Each galaxy contains about 10 million stars. It is likely that after the Fish and Fish And The satellites will be the larger galaxies, star formation in them are slow.

By its conclusion, scientists have come by studying the distribution of hydrogen in the Milky Way. Detected anomalies 30-50 astronomers identified as dwarf galaxies. Two of them have attracted most attention.

Astronomers say that out of such systems in the future can be formed large galaxies like the Milky Way.
