Subject: BREAKING NEWS: A Primordial Galaxy in Cetus?
|
A dwarf galaxy in the constellation Cetus may be a pristine building block
of large galaxies like our own, say astronomers. Furthermore, this galaxy is
close enough that it belongs to the Local Group, the collection of nearby
galaxies that includes our own. For the full story, including a color image
of the galaxy, please see http://KenCroswell.com/CetusDwarf.html .

"BREAKING NEWS": This galaxy has been known since 1999, and the
above is an advertisement for a book, not a link to "the full
story." A google search for "cetus" "dwarf galaxy" turns up 721
web sites.
MORE BREAKING NEWS: It's 2006.
