There’s no shortage of interesting things to see in our own galaxy, but astronomers love finding new galactic neighbors as well. Observing other galaxies can teach scientists a lot about how the massive structures form, live, and die.

News of the discovery was published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
