Scientists from Australia made an amazing discovery! They found a huge gas bridge connecting two small galaxies called NGC 4532 and DDO 137. This bridge is so big that it stretches for 185,000 light-years! To picture this, think about how long it would take light to travel that distance—185,000 years! It's like if you wanted to walk to school, but the path was 185,000 times longer than going to the nearest store! 🌟
This bridge is made of neutral hydrogen, a special type of gas that also exists on Earth. It helps galaxies share materials, just like passing toys to each other over a long string. 🎈 Can you imagine how cool it is that two galaxies can communicate using gas over such a huge distance?
❓ What do you think scientists might discover next in our vast universe?
