It is predicted to be sufficient for a net mass of normal matter equivalent to only a single galaxy in the known universe.
As the source is extended, with a size of about 45', this argues against the possibility that a single galaxy is responsible for the emission.
But what can a single galaxy do alone, without the help of a sister galaxy?
The main consequence is that, in determining the distance of a single galaxy, a possible error must be assumed.
Ultimately, the galaxies will merge to form a single giant elliptical galaxy.
Instead, they gradually merge to form a single, larger galaxy.
While looking for single galaxies, Cooke found something that at first appeared like a bright, single object.
In our single galaxy, at any single instant, is more than they can know or foresee.
It is a single galaxy in pair of galaxies.
The others were not concerned about a single galaxy.
