This galaxy is not very far from Earth, about 14 million light-years.
Orbital telescope “Hubble” failed to take pictures of interesting dwarf galaxy, which is already 6 billion years does not give birth to new stars.
The site is called LEDA 677373, it is located in the constellation Hydra.
Dwarf galaxy is not too far from us, just 14 million light years and is part of the local group of galaxies. Scientists this object is very interesting, as all the stars in it are “old” red dwarfs and blue giants are fading. The last 6 billion years, the galaxy is not engaged in the production of new stars, although the building material in the form of neutral hydrogen there is enough.
According to one of the assumptions of cosmology, the galaxy may be victim of the “cosmic cannibalism”. Located in the neighborhood with her large spiral galaxy M83 at the expense of the strongest gravitational effects can simply to extort from the unfortunate LEDA 677373 large reserves of hydrogen, not allowing one to give birth to new light.
