3 of the Universe’s Most Extreme Galaxies

The video explores three extreme galaxies: Dragonfly 44, UGC 12591, and ADFS-27. Dragonfly 44 is an ultra-diffuse galaxy composed almost entirely of dark matter. UGC 12591 is a fast-spinning galaxy that blends features of spiral and lenticular galaxies. ADFS-27 is a massive galaxy collision observed 12.7 billion light-years away, forming a starburst galaxy. These galaxies provide insights into galaxy formation and the role of dark matter.

How does dark matter influence the formation and characteristics of galaxies?
