Today, scientists made a groundbreaking discovery - potential polar galaxies may be more common than previously thought. By studying galaxies in the nearby Universe, they found that at least one in five galaxies have a polar axis that is misaligned with the plane of the galaxy. This suggests that a significant fraction of galaxies could be categorized as “polar” and have an unusual orientation in the sky. This discovery could lead to a better understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies, and why some of them are oriented differently than others.
