In two related studies, an international team found that galaxies that are either &#8220;ultra-compact&#8221; or &#8220;ultra-diffuse&#8221; relative to normal galaxies of comparable brightness appear to reside in dense environments, i.e., regions that contain large numbers of galaxies. This has led the team to speculate that these &#8220;extreme&#8221; objects could have started out resembling normal galaxies, but then evolved to have unusual sizes through interactions with other galaxies.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-09-galactic-census-reveals-extreme-galaxies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Galactic census reveals origin of most &#8216;extreme&#8217; galaxies<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astronomers have found that the key to understanding galaxies with &#8220;extreme&#8221; sizes, either small or large, may lie in their surroundings.
