Astronomers have uncovered one of the youngest galaxies in the distant universe, with stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago, a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang. The finding addresses questions about when the first galaxies arose, and how the early universe evolved.


if seeing a galaxy that formed 200,000,000 years after the "big bang" impresses you, knowing how little time it actually took my God to form them will rock your world. i have given the "big bang" a try and studied, now you give God a try and look into what i'm saying.
God bless!!!
I am very tired, so maybe I didn't read the article as thoroughly as I could have, but shouldn't the title be "Hubble discovers surprising old galaxy" instead?

Oops, sorry for repeating myself. I'm all done now, I promise. =P
