Some Of The Strangest And Most Mysterious Discoveries In Space

2. Galaxy X

Year Found: 2015

Who Found It: Sukanya Chakrabarti

Location: Milky Way Galaxy

The vastness of space and the infinite possibilities that might exist within it make it impossible to look for a breakthrough by looking for something new, because it is a vast space. To discover Galaxy X, astronomers examined their current knowledge for inconsistencies – which is exactly what they did in the years before it was discovered.

It didn’t take long for astronomers to search for the cause of the disturbance in the Milky Way disc when they noticed it in 2009. In 2015, Galaxy X was discovered to have been responsible. Since Galaxy X is only visible because of four incredibly bright stars, experts have concluded that it must be made primarily of dark matter.
