The dwarf galaxy KKs3 is not part of a larger galaxies, this is precisely an isolated space object. Its mass is one ten thousandth of the mass of our galaxy. Her difference from similar objects is that there are no spiral sleeves, and her mass is very small. How many more dwarf galaxies are hiding in the margins of the universe, scientists still to find out. It is believed that such dwarf galaxies evolve differently and revolve around larger objects. Dwarf galaxies are usually very old, and their location specialists are akin to archaeological excavations. They have a very dim glow, which complicates their detection by astronomers.
