Dwarf galaxy Leo IV, HST image
Dwarf galaxy Leo IV, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) optical image. This small, dim galaxy in visible light is a sparse scattering of stars that are virtually indistinguishable from the background. This is one of more than a dozen ultra-faint dwarf galaxies found around our Milky Way galaxy. These galaxies are dominated by dark matter, an invisible substance that makes up the bulk of the Universes mass. The Leo IV dwarf galaxy is 500, 000 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Leo. Image data obtained with the HSTs Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) instrument. Image published in 2012

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ethereal beauty of the Dwarf galaxy Leo IV, as captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). In this optical image, we witness a mesmerizing sight - a scattering of stars that blend seamlessly into the vast cosmic background. This celestial wonder is just one among many ultra-faint dwarf galaxies discovered near our own Milky Way. What makes these galaxies truly intriguing is their dominance by dark matter, an enigmatic and invisible substance that constitutes most of the Universe's mass. The Leo IV dwarf galaxy resides approximately 500,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Leo, serving as a distant reminder of our place within this grand cosmos. The image was obtained using HST's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) instrument, which allows us to peer deeper into space and unravel its mysteries. Published in 2012, this snapshot offers astronomers and astrophysicists valuable insights into galactic structures and phenomena. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again of how small yet significant we are amidst the boundless expanse of space. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our origins and our relentless pursuit to understand the wonders that lie beyond our reach.
