== The mystery of galaxy Q 6188 in Cetus == |

I don't know if I'm at the right place to ask questions about the mysterious galaxy Q 6188 in Cetus (??). It is the only galaxy in Uranometria 2000.0 (1987 edition) which is catalogued as "Q" (see charts 261 / 262). Could this be an error? That's the conclusion of Wolfgang Steinicke of the book -Galaxies and How to Observe Them-. According to Steinicke, this galaxy is also catalogued as Mrk 960 and PGC 2845. The coordinates of this galaxy are (J2000.0) R.A. 00:48.6 / Decl. -12°44'. Danny Caes, Ghent-Belgium. ] (]) 10:29, 22 April 2019 (UTC) |

::It is correct but perhaps needs to be more clear. As it has to do with formation...not about the fact they can survive without one after formation. To quote the NASA source at A2261-BCG.."{{small|Astronomers have proposed two possibilities for the puffy core. One scenario is that a pair of merging black holes gravitationally stirred up and scattered the stars. Another idea is that the merging black holes were ejected from the core. Left without an anchor, the stars began spreading out even more, creating the puffy-looking core.}}".--<span style="font-weight:bold;color:darkblue">]</span> <span style="color:red">🍁</span> 03:08, 12 July 2020 (UTC) |

There is another theory as to the formation of these. It involves (relatively) sudden and short-lived influxes of matter into galaxies' central black holes, creating "flashes"of light and other energy that travel outwards as spheres, appearing, of course as circles. There are still some issues with this explanation, which is why I've put this comment here, rather than into the body of the article.
