Out of the primordial hydrogen, what were the largest star and smallest galaxy that eventually formed?
A body intermediate to stars and galaxies is a celestial object that falls between the size and mass of a star and a galaxy. It is smaller than a galaxy, but larger than a star, and often has its own system of orbiting bodies.
These bodies are typically formed through the collapse of a large molecular cloud. As the cloud collapses, smaller clumps break off and form into stars, while the larger clumps form into intermediate bodies.
Some examples include globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and brown dwarfs. These objects have a range of sizes and masses, but all fall between the size and mass of a star and a galaxy.
Studying these objects can provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies. They can also help us understand the processes that lead to the formation of stars and planets.
Scientists use a variety of tools, such as telescopes and satellites, to observe these objects. They also study the light emitted by these bodies to gather information about their composition and characteristics.
