Named after its thin shape, similar to knife's edge. [citation needed] Large Magellanic Cloud: Dorado/Mensa: Named after Ferdinand Magellan [citation needed] This is the fourth-largest galaxy in the Local Group, and forms a pair with the SMC, and from recent research, may not be part of the Milky Way system of satellites at all.

This is a list of astronomical objects named after people.While topological features on Solar System bodies — such as craters, mountains, and valleys — are often named after famous or historical individuals, many stars and deep-sky objects are named after the individual(s) who discovered or otherwise studied it.
2013 – The galaxy Z8 GND 5296 is confirmed by spectroscopy to be one of the most distant galaxies found up to this time. Formed just 700 million years after the Big Bang, expansion of the universe has carried it to its current location, about 13 billion light years away from Earth (30 billion light years comoving distance). [18]
Many dwarf galaxies may orbit a single larger galaxy; the Milky Way has at least a dozen such satellites, with an estimated 300–500 yet to be discovered. [107] Most of the information we have about dwarf galaxies come from observations of the local group, containing two spiral galaxies, the Milky Way and Andromeda, and many dwarf galaxies.
Four galaxies that existed more than 13 billion years ago have been identified and confirmed by scientists as the earliest known to date. These galaxies were present around 350 million years after ...
The fourth Foundation novel, made up of two stories originally published in 1945. Published with the title The Man Who Upset the Universe as a 35c Ace paperback, D-125, in about 1952. 15 1953 Second Foundation: The fifth Foundation novel, made up of two stories, originally published in 1948 and 1949. 16 1982 Foundation's Edge: The sixth ...
Cosmos Redshift 7 (also known as COSMOS Redshift 7, Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7, Galaxy CR7 or CR7) is a high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitter galaxy.At a redshift z = 6.6, [1] the galaxy is observed as it was about 800 million years after the Big Bang, during the epoch of reionisation. [1]
The object's name is derived from its location in the GOODS-North field of galaxies and its high cosmological redshift number (GN + z11). [12] It is observed as it existed 13.4 billion years ago, just 400 million years after the Big Bang ; [ 4 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] as a result, its distance is sometimes inappropriately [ 15 ] reported as 13.4 billion ...
