HKU Scientists Find New Galaxy Closest Ever to the Earth
The discovery of a new ring galaxy which arose from a galactic collision, the closest ever to the earth, was announced by the University of Hong Kong (HKU) in mid-August. The newlyformed ring galaxy was found by chance by a team of astronomers led by Prof. Quentin Parker of the HKU and Prof. Albert Zijlstra of the University of Manchester during a special wide-field survey of the Southern Milky Way.
