- Astronomers discovered a massive 185,000-light-year-long hydrogen gas bridge connecting two dwarf galaxies.
- This bridge, along with a very long gas tail, is thought to have formed due to gravitational interactions between the dwarf galaxies and the influence of the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster.
- The discovery, made using the ASKAP radio telescope array, helps scientists better understand galaxy evolution, star formation and gas dynamics between galaxies.
