Let's make a galaxy: astronomers have identified a cosmic infant "nearby"—70 million light-years from Earth
Natural History, March, 2003 by Charles Liu
The discovery that a nearby dwarf galaxy is actually in its infancy is, though fascinating, hardly heretical. In fact, understanding the ancient, distant subgalactic clumps is still essential for unraveling the mysteries of galaxy birth and formation. But POX 186 does open the door to a new line of inquiry, because astronomers now know that it's also worthwhile to look closer to home. More little blobs of matter may be lurking in the voids.
Charles Liu is an astrophysicist at the Hayden Planetarium and a research scientist at Barnard College in New York City.
