Astronomers have completed the largest survey to date of the faint outskirts of nearby galaxies, successfully testing a low-cost system for exploring these local stellar systems. R. Michael Rich of the University of California, Los Angeles led an international team carrying out a survey for the Haloes and Environments of Nearby Galaxies (HERON) collaboration, published in a paper in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The team find that the diameters of the galactic outskirts – the haloes - appear to correlate with the brightness and type of galaxy.
        The nearby edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3628 is 35 million light-years distant; the tail of material has an extent far exceeding the full diameter of the Milky Way. While the tail has been known for decades, the faintest parts of the disk reveal stars expelled roughly 100,000 light years from the collision that likely produced the tail, resulting in the odd "dog-bone" like structure. If it were visible to the eye, this galaxy's full extent would be greater than that of the full moon. The Galaxy and tail system is several times the size of our Milky Way.

Meanwhile back on Earth, It is another beautiful day in Southern Spain with 25 Centigrade and 23% humidity.
