Smallest galaxy ever discovered bolsters
dark matter theory

Rating-***
This article is about the discovery of
the smallest ever galaxy. The miniature galaxy shines with the power output of
900 suns, that's a very low number compared to our galaxy which shines 20
billion times brighter. The only reason this was classified as a true galaxy
and not just a star cluster is because of a halo of dark matter around it
holding it together.
This is an amazing article. I have
always been intrigued by space, and this is exactly why. The universe is filled
with so many mysteries and its always amazing when one is solved or at least a
part of it is. This really makes me want to learn more about whats out there
but I do have other plans for what I'm going to do but being someone to
research space would certainly be fun.
