This article talks about 9 new galaxies. These new galaxies are near to our galaxy. THE MILKY WAY). These galaxies are different than ours, they have a different color and different size and shape. As we can't see them with our eyes, thanks to the infrared light we can see them. If we see dusty yellow in the sky that means that a new star or galaxy is forming and if it is blue, it means that is an old population of stars. Wise (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission,) found out about these galaxies. It was launched in 2009.
In my opinion, this article was pretty interesting and it was kind of exciting for me and our planet because now we have other 9 new galaxies. And also, it is pretty cool how a robot found out about them and not a human. I wonder if it is near the milky way humans could go and see it.
