Plimni rep: razlika između inačica

Pojavu koju danas nazivamo plimni rep prvi je naširoko proučavao [[Fritz Zwicky]] 1953. godine<ref>(eng.) {{cite journal | title = Luminous and dark formations of intergalactic matter | author = Zwicky, Fritz | journal = [[Physics Today]] | date = travanj 1953. | volume = 6 | issue = 4 | pages = 7–11 | doi = 10.1063/1.3061224|bibcode = 1953PhT.....6....7Z }}</ref> Nekoliko je astrofizičara izrazilo svoje dvojbe da se ova proširenja mogu pojaviti samostalno kao rezultat plimnih sila,<ref>(eng.) {{cite journal | title = The Possibility of a Long Lifetime for Intergalactic Arms | author = Zasov, A.
