Scholarly footprint

Bibliographic registers publish measured figures for this heading: 15 language editions of the general reference literature carrying an article (Wikimedia (language editions)) and 132 deposited research records (DataCite Commons). A count of publications is evidence of attention, not of standing, and is given here only as a measure.

Evidence base

This article draws on 3 independent source lineages. Copies and mirrors of the same underlying record were collapsed into a single witness, so 3 means 3 genuinely separate publishers of record. 10 further registers were consulted and returned nothing for this heading.

This image shows a portion of the Hydra I galaxy cluster. Underneath the bright star taking the spotlight in the centre-left of the image, notice the spiral galaxy that looks almost smudged across the screen, spilling its contents into the cosmos around it. This is NGC 3312, a galaxy that is losing gas through a process known as ram pressure stripping . Check the links below for a closer look and
