Summary
DescriptionThe WLM galaxy on the edge of the Local Group.jpg |
English: This image, captured by ESO’s OmegaCAM on the VLT Survey Telescope, shows a lonely galaxy known as Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte, or WLM for short. Although considered part of our Local Group of dozens of galaxies, WLM stands alone at the group’s outer edges as one of its most remote members. In fact, the galaxy is so small and secluded that it may never have interacted with any other Local Group galaxy — or perhaps even any other galaxy in the history of the Universe.
Polski: Scena zarejestrowana kamerą OmegaCAM na teleskopie VST pokazuje samotną galaktykę o nazwie Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte, albo w skrócie WLM. Chociaż jest uważana za część naszej Grupy Lokalnej, składającej się z dziesiątek galaktyk, to WLM położona jest samotnie na zewnętrznych obrzeżach grupy jako jedna z najodleglejszych członkiń. Galaktyka ta jest tak mała i odosobniona, że być może nigdy nie oddziaływała z innymi galaktykami Grupy Lokalnej, a może nawet z jakąkolwiek inną galaktyką w trakcie całej historii Wszechświata. |
