00:03The Messier 64 Galaxy often goes by another name, and it's not hard to see why.
00:08It's more commonly called the Evil Eye Galaxy, because of its bright central stars glowing with a dark dust cloud
00:14ring.
00:15Experts say it has long baffled astronomers for many reasons, not least of which is that the inner and outer
00:20spiraling parts do so in opposite directions.
00:22But they are also made of drastically different materials as well, making the Evil Eye Galaxy of constant interest to
00:28astronomers.
00:29And now they might finally know why it looks and acts the way it does.
00:33The newly published findings indicate that the outer disk's hydrogen gas likely came from another dwarf galaxy that was circling
00:39Messier 64.
00:40Messier 64 then absorbed the satellite galaxy, spinning its contents into the dark and mysterious cloud we see today.
00:47And experts say this might give us a look at what will eventually happen with the Milky Way, as the
00:51small Magellanic Cloud is expected to be absorbed by it, a process that has already begun.
00:56The researchers say that the cannibalized dwarf galaxy was the equivalent of 500 million solar masses, an event they say
01:02only occurred within the last billion years.
01:05The researchers say, as the smallpox, are now included in the coexistence of the third-party specular.
01:07The researchers say that the powers of the star-gown ideally are anonymous to the onelipoters.
01:08Now, without any doubt, thegrams for the picture, even as you have seen the new star-gown, in the past,
01:08The military have been dedicated to the running from a large the past, of the past, of the past well
01:08-gown, and
01:08the ultimate focus.
01:09The experience of the architect, of the past, of the past, of the past, of the past and the past,
01:09of the past,
01:09the past, of the past's the past, of the past, of the past.
01:09The image of the past, is not to be a very small.
