The Fornax dwarf galaxy is one of our Milky Way’s neighbouring dwarf galaxies. The Milky Way is, like all large galaxies, thought to have formed from smaller galaxies in the early days of the Universe.

James Webb Space Telescope finds dwarf galaxies packed enough punch to reshape the entire early universe

"The main surprise is that these small faint galaxies had so much power, their cumulative radiation could transform the entire universe."

Globular Cluster NGC 1898 A breathtaking look into deep space approximately 163,000 light years away and full of several hundred thousand stars. Reminds me of that famous line; “My God Its Full Of Stars,” which were Dave Bowman's final words as he entered the monolith in the book version of 2001: A SpaceOdyssey, in Chapter 39. The line begins the movie 2010. . “The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has delivered an unrivalled snapshot of NGC 1898, a globular cluster in the constellation Dorado. This Hubble image shows the globular cluster NGC 1898. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble. Globular clusters are beehive swarm agglomerations of several hundred thousand stars each. Astronomers know that these groupings of stars belong to the oldest known objects in the Universe and that they are relics of the first epochs of galaxy formation. The globular cluster NGC 1898, also known as BSDL 2439 and ESO 56-90, is approximately 163,000 light-years away from Earth. Discovered on November 24, 834 by British astronomer John Herschel, the object belongs to a satellite of the Milky Way called the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The LMC is a dwarf galaxy that hosts a rich population of clusters, making it an ideal laboratory for investigating star formation.” - Sci News . #DeepSpace #NGC1898 #GlobularCluster #163000LY #DwarfGalaxy #LargeMagellanicCloud https://www.instagram.com/p/CGO_QpZlYEz/?igshid=1hhslqct7ezty

Magellanic Clouds. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) (top) are two dwarf galaxies 🌌 that revolve around the Milky Way. . Named after the legendary Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, whose expedition (bottom right) was the first to circumnavigate around the globe, these two dwarf galaxies are indeed a treasure trove for astronomers. . The LMC, for example, contains many super giant stars ⭐️, globular clusters ✨, and nebulas - such as the Tarantula Nebula (bottom left) that are the nurseries for new stars. .
