When researchers
took a closer look at surveys of galaxies in the local universe, they
found many had been mischaracterised. More careful analysis of images
revealed that 21 galaxies that originally looked like big 3D clouds
of stars – "giant elliptical galaxies" – were actually
flat 2D disc galaxies with bulges in the middle.
Read article on The Universe is fullof rogue stars, rogue planets and galaxies that were tough for oldertelescopes to see.
