Astronomers have long predicted the existence of black holes larger than those formed from single stars, but smaller than the million or billion solar mass ones lurking at the centers of galaxies.

He did not expect to find any massive galaxies earlier than about 9 billion years ago because theoretical models predict that such large objects form last.

Before LIGO's detections, astronomers only had definitive observations of two varieties of black holes: ones that form from stars that were thought to top out around 20 solar masses; and, at the cores of large galaxies, supermassive black holes of still - uncertain provenance containing millions or billions of times the mass of the sun.

Large - scale simulations of galaxies suggest that the halo formed at the same time as the rest of Andromeda.

The discovery that many small galaxies throughout the universe do not «swarm» around larger ones like bees do but «dance» in orderly disc - shaped orbits is a challenge to our understanding of how the universe formed and evolved.

They form when a large galaxy's gravity pulls one edge of a nearby satellite galaxy more strongly than the other edge, unraveling the galaxy and leaving stars behind.

We go out into the interstellar medium, this is the gas between the stars like the sun, that too is mostly plasma — not all of it, some of it is in the form of neutral gas, but a large fraction of it is in the form of plasma — and then if we go outside the galaxy itself, into the space between the galaxies, the so - called intergalactic space, then again, that is mostly plasma.
