Russian-Indian group of scientists found that the galaxy UGC 3672 actually consists of dwarf galaxies.
The results of his astronomical research they published in the edition of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Experts in the field of astrophysics of Pune, the traffic police the name of Sternberg conducted a series of observations of the galaxy, located in the district of intergalactic space (the void), Rise-Cancer. This area, called UGC 3672 distant from the Earth is 59 million light years, which is a small distance astronomers.
