<p class="p1"><a href= "http://www.spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2211/a-fossil-galaxy-in-the-outskirts-of-andromeda/"> http://www.spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2211/a-fossil-galaxy-in-the-outskirts-of-andromeda/</a></p> <p class="p1">An international team of astronomers found a dwarf galaxy in the outskirts of the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, located over 2.5 million light-years from us. However, the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy, now called Pegasus V, was first spotted by a very attentive amateur astronomer Giuseppe Donatiello, of UAI, the Unione Astrofili Italiani.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">The UAI translates as the Union of Italian Amateur Astronomers, and its members are both amateur and professional astronomers. He was looking at an image from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey, which is done to find targets of interest for DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Link to the scientific paper:</p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.09068">https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.09068</a></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p class="p1">Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Every bit helps!
