Astronomers Misunderstood Two Galaxies as One

According to a latest report, an international team of astronomers, including one from the University of Manitoba, has discovered a new galaxy.

The scientists earlier thought that only one galaxy has been discovered by them but the experts from the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) have recently revealed that there were two galaxies instead of one.

According to the scientists, a new image has revealed the chance alignment of these galaxies. This has been revealed from the radio data from the VLA that both the galaxies appear to be of different colors in these findings. The radio data VLA has observed that the galaxies are blue and infrared in color.

According t the observations by the NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), one of these galaxies seems to be yellow and the other is sighted as orange in color.

The scientists disclaim that the closer galaxy is named as UGC 10288 and it is located about 100 million light years away. It has also been discovered that this galaxy is spiral in shape, but when we see it from our point of view it seems to be thin edged. The farther galaxy sighted by the scientists is about 7 billion light-years away.
