Astronomy: Young spirals get older
Robert C. Kennicutt, Jr1
Abstract
These days, galaxies come in very different shapes and sizes. Cutting-edge technologies allow a detailed peek at how things looked in the Universe's early days — 'the same, but different' is the tentative message.
On page 786 of this issue1, Genzel et al. present remarkable observations of what appears to be a newly formed spiral galaxy, observed when the Universe was just a fifth of its current age.
- Robert C. Kennicutt Jr is at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HA, UK.
