Astronomers have recently found that besides the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies, there is another large galaxy in the universe being orbited by smaller dwarf galaxies in an orderly manner.

Centaurus A, which is located 13 million light-years away from Earth, serves as a parent galaxy to a system of satellite galaxies dispersed perpendicular to it in a narrow disc-shaped plane.

Out of these 16 satellite galaxies, 14 of them were observed to co-rotate around their parent galaxy following an organized motion pattern.

This discovery questions the lambda cold dark matter model that assumes satellite galaxy systems to be randomly scattered around a larger galaxy, with a chaotic movement similar to bees flying around a beehive.
