It seems scientists have discovered a spiral-arm galaxy from long, long ago and it's far, far away...sounds like it could be a galaxy full of Jedi's and Storm-troopers!
I doubt there are any X-wing fighters swooping around the stars in this galaxy, but you never know. Apparently this galaxy formed some 10.7 billion years ago, only a short time after the "big bang" that created our Universe. Scientists find it exciting because apparently it shouldn't be possible for a galaxy that old to still look so good, all other galaxies that have been discovered around that age have disintegrated to the point that they, "look like a train-wreck".
