"Hubble Space Telescope spotted unusually small galaxies densely packed with red stars in the
distant, young universe. They were nicknamed "red nuggets," not only because they are small and red but also their existence challenged current theories of galaxy formation, making them precious in astronomers’ eyes.
Since no "red nuggets" were seen nearby, astronomers wondered why they had disappeared over time. New research shows that they didn’t disappear completely. (Probably because none of them have "disappeared" at all yet) In fact, they were simply hidden within the data of previous surveys.
By sifting through the Sloan data, the team dug up more than 600 "red nugget" candidates. They are located at distances of 2.5 to 5.7 billion light-years from Earth." MyScience
Speaking of galactic "disappearing" acts-
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
2 Peter 3:10
