Protogalaxies
Protogalaxies refer to the early stage of galaxy formation in the universe, characterized by the accumulation of gas, dust, and stars within a gravitational structure. These primordial structures serve as the building blocks for fully developed galaxies, undergoing processes such as mergers, accretion, and star formation over billions of years to evolve into the diverse range of galaxies observed in the present-day universe. The study of protogalaxies provides valuable insights into the formation and evolution of cosmic structures on a cosmological scale.
