In the cosmos, the most prevalent galaxies are small, low-mass dwarf galaxies, with estimates suggesting 30-to-100 exist for every Milky Way-like galaxy. While large spiral galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda are easy to observe, it is these lesser-known dwarf galaxies that significantly shape intergalactic gas and visibility. Recent studies using Hubble and JWST have focused on isolated low-mass galaxies, revealing evidence of gradual growth over billions of years, thus providing critical insights into both the presence of matter and the evolution of the universe.
The largest galaxies like the Milky Way may be the easiest to spot, but smaller, lower-mass galaxies vastly outnumber them and play a crucial role in cosmic visibility.
Studies with Hubble and JWST reveal that isolated low-mass galaxies in deep space exhibit evidence of unstoppable growth over billions of years, offering insights into cosmic history.
