MCG+07-33-027

MCG+07-33-027 is an isolated spiral galaxy[2] located about 330 million light-years away[3] in the constellation Hercules.[4] It has a very high rate of star formation which would make it a starburst galaxy. Normally, starburst galaxies are triggered by the collision of another galaxy. However most galaxies are in groups or clusters, while MCG+07-33-027 is solitary. Therefore, the cause of the starburst was not due to a collision or by the passing of a nearby galaxy and so the cause of the activity remains unknown.[2]

SN2005bk

On April 2, 2005 a supernova of type Ic was discovered in MCG+07-33-027.[5]

gollark: I guess it depends on exactly what you do, and the resistance of the wires.
gollark: Which is as far as I know more an issue of low voltages than DC itself, but DC means you can't change the voltage very easily.
gollark: There is the problem that low-voltage DC loses power more quickly over longer distances.
gollark: Yes, you're right, let's just replace our lightbulbs with idealized magic visible light emitters.
gollark: If they didn't need that (I think the only practical way to achieve this would just be to stick one larger and more efficient converter somewhere) the bulbs would be individually cheaper and probably more efficient too, as well as safer.
