Pearl galaxies have amazed scientists with their beauty and mysterious interactions.

Not only planets can align in a straight line, but even galaxies can do so. Astronomers have discovered a rare group of five dwarf galaxies (labeled from D1 to D5), located 117 million light-years away from Earth. The uniqueness of this grouping is astonishing: the galaxies are almost perfectly aligned, resembling a "string of cosmic pearls," and their interaction challenges the conventional model of cosmic evolution.

As noted by Space.com, these small, faint, yet gas-rich galaxies are actively forming new stars – a rare trait for their type. The total mass of the five galaxies is about 60.2 billion solar masses.

Dwarf galaxies typically exist in isolation, and the chance of finding such a group is only 0.004%. Three of them share the same rotation direction, and their interaction resembles a dance as they siphon gas and stars from one another. This discovery, made through the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), challenges the standard cosmological model (LCDM), which cannot explain the formation of such structures in distant isolated regions of the universe.
