An article accepted for publication in the journal "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society" reports a study of a dwarf galaxy cataloged as HIPASS J1131–31 that is relatively close but has the characteristics of a primordial galaxy. They nicknamed it Peekaboo because it peeks out from behind a bright star that hid it for a long time and made it difficult to identify.

@coreyspowell When a is approached by a much smaller companion, such as a , the larger 's uneven gravitational pull will start to severely distort the smaller star system. Over the course of a few billion years, tendril-like structures develop.
