Galaxies are held together by gravitational attraction and the galactic components orbit a common centre.
However, the nebulae were not universally accepted as distant separate galaxies until the matter was settled by Edwin Hubble in the early 1920s using a new telescope.

Ciertamente hay records más abultados en cuanto a defensas, como lo son los logrados por el mexicano Ricardo López (22) en peso mínimo, el panameño Eusebio Pedroza (20) en pluma, el supergallo boricua Wilfredo Gómez (17), el supermosca tailandés Khaosai Galaxy (19) y el polaco Dariusz Michalckzewski (24) en semicompleto.
