Hubble Sees Stars of Steam

Comparatively FEW galaxies POSSESS the far-reaching, luminous spiral arms or brightly glowing center of our galaxy the Milky Way home. In FACT, MOST of the Universe's galaxies look like small, amorphous clouds of steam. One of these galaxies is DDO 82, Captured here in an image from the NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Compared to the tiny THOUGH Milky Way dwarf galaxies still Contain Such Between A Few million billion stars and A Few.

DDO 82, Also known by the designation UGC 5692, is not without a hint of structure, however.
