NASA's observations indicate that 'around 90 percent of the stars in Leo A are less than eight billion years old - young in cosmic terms!' This leads astronomers to question why this isolated galaxy formed stars on such an unusual timeline, suggesting it 'waited until it was good and ready' instead of following the usual star formation rate.
The recent images reveal that Leo A's star distribution has an interesting pattern: younger stars are centrally located, while older ones are found farther from the center, which could provide insights into galaxy evolution.
