Discovered 'evil galaxy' transparent like illusion
This galaxy is called NGC1052-DF2, 65 million light years from our earth.
The latest image observed by the Hubble telescope has made astronomers confused and named it "ghost galaxy" - the demonic galaxy.
The galaxy is called NGC1052-DF2 , 65 million light years from our earth. Its structure is quite different from other spiral galaxies, with very few stars lying in groups, creating unusual light clusters. Studies around the evil galaxy are the work of Yale University and the Space Telescope Science Institute (USA).

Normally, it is impossible to observe through a galaxy. The solar system lies on the edge of a normal spiral galaxy. No advanced astronomical observation device can help us see through the galaxy's center of matter to see across our own galaxy.
But with "evil galaxies , " astronomers even see other spiral galaxies behind it like looking through a translucent glass because it is almost transparent, like an illusion.

Scientists reason that this demonic galaxy may have lost its "" . Dark matter is a hypothetical material in the universe, which cannot explain the composition, cannot be observed with a telescope because it does not reflect enough electromagnetic radiation but has a measurable gravitational force. It is estimated that it accounts for about 70% of matter in the universe. Black holes are also a form of dark matter.
Here, the lack of dark matter density in the galaxy is so thin that it looks fuzzy like a ghost.
According to researcher Pieter van Dokkum, the study's lead author, this demonic galaxy offers another perspective on the formation and matter in the universe.
