What do we know about
galaxies, Hobbits, and why they have such a peculiar name?
The name "hobbit
galaxies" ("hobbit galaxy") - this is quite a new term used to
describe galaxies that are smaller and dimmer than the dwarf galaxies. By the
number of stars that inhabit such galaxies (hundreds of thousands of stars),
these objects occupy an intermediate position between dwarf galaxies and star
clusters.
