Recently, astronomers observing the sky received a shocking discovery. They found a large galaxy in a hitherto unexplored part of our galaxy. It materialized suddenly out of thin air.
So, how did the galaxy known as Crater 2 accomplish this, similar to a deer springing from cosmic bushes to look into our collective headlights? Although Crater 2 may appear to have suddenly appeared, he has been around the entire time. We just disregarded it.
However, now that we are aware of its existence, astronomers have uncovered a number of embarrassing characteristics. We cannot ascribe the galaxy’s relative obscurity to its size to begin with. Crater 2 is so enormous that it has already been identified as the fourth biggest galaxy inside the orbit of our galaxy. We also cannot blame its remoteness. Crater 2’s orbit around the Milky Way brings it directly overhead.
