Tucana II

Tucana II, a dwarf galaxy discovered in 2015 through the Dark Energy Survey, orbits the Milky Way in the southern celestial hemisphere within the Tucana constellation. Exhibiting typical characteristics of dwarf galaxies, Tucana II is relatively small, faint, and possesses a sparse stellar population. Its irregular shape and interactions with the Milky Way make it a subject of interest for astronomers studying the dynamics of satellite galaxies and their role in the broader context of galaxy formation. This discovery contributes valuable insights into the hierarchical structure of the cosmos, the influence of dark matter, and the intricate processes shaping the evolution of galaxies.
