k Dwarf galaxy Leo IV, HST image Dwarf galaxy Leo IV, Hubble Space Telescope HST optical image. This small, dim galaxy in visible light is a sparse scattering of stars that are virtually indistinguishable from the background. This is one of more than a dozen ultrafaint dwarf galaxies found around our Milky Way galaxy. These galaxies are dominated by dark matter, an invisible substance that makes up the bulk of the Universes mass. The Leo IV dwarf galaxy is 500,000 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Leo. Image data obtained with the HSTs Advanced Camera for Surveys ACS instrument. Image published in 2012.
