    In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...

    The name of this galaxy is based on a Redshift (z) measurement of nearly 7 (actually, z = 6.604). [ 5 ] Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7 is reported to be the brightest of distant galaxies (z > 6) and to contain some of the earliest first stars ( first generation ; Population III ) that produced the chemical elements needed for the later formation of ...

    A dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy composed of about 1000 up to several billion stars, as compared to the Milky Way's 200–400 billion stars. [1] The Large Magellanic Cloud , which closely orbits the Milky Way and contains over 30 billion stars, [ 2 ] is sometimes classified as a dwarf galaxy; others consider it a full-fledged galaxy.

    Blue Nugget (also called BN) galaxies are a type of distant galaxy that only existed in the early universe. Blue nugget galaxies are small but high mass galaxies undergoing mass bursts of star formation, making many large, bright blue stars. As their stellar population evolves and ages, blue nugget galaxies transition into red nugget galaxies. [1]
