Six tiny galaxies discovered right on our doorstep
Some of the smallest galaxies we know of live right next door to the Milky Way — but we’ve only just found them!

Today’s paper uses simulations to understand how the Milky Way’s stellar halo formed, and also asks: what determines the evolutionary pathway taken by a galaxy over cosmic time?
Brand new data could force us to re-think how galaxies form and evolve in the early Universe — but there’s no need to panic!
Smashing with a neighbor can kill a galaxy – but is this how most of them die? Today’s authors look at mergers among the dying galaxies to find out!
Following yesterday’s release of the First JWST Deep Field, more images from JWST’s first release were shared today. Today’s bite takes a look at the five targets and their histories.
Today’s paper puts simulation-based theories to the test as we look at some of the most massive disk galaxies and find out how they grew to their enormous sizes!
