Hubble has spotted an ancient galaxy that shouldn’t exist

This galaxy is so large, so fully-formed, astronomers say it shouldn’t exist at all. It’s called a “grand-design” spiral galaxy, and unlike most galaxies of its kind, this one is old. Like, really, really old. According to a new study conducted by researchers using NASA’s Hubble Telescope, it dates back roughly 10.7-billion years — and that makes it the most ancient spiral galaxy we’ve ever discovered.

"The vast majority of old galaxies look like train wrecks," said UCLA astrophysicist Alice Shapley in a press release. "Our first thought was, why is this one so different, and so beautiful?"

now i’m pissed brilliant

I would like to correct you dear sir, israel has an army a navy and an air force whereas gaza has rockets that dont inflict half the damage israeli rockets do. They are not equal, israel is committing genocide.

as an israeli civilian who’s been living here her whole life and knows a bit about the situation, i’d like to counter-correct you.israel is not committing genocide. there’s a horrible number of civilian people who get killed in the israeli attacks and i oppose that and wish it would be stopped, but it’s not genocide. the israeli targets are bombs and hamas/other terror organization headquarters. unfortunately the terrorists seem to think that the best way to keep their rockets safe is using human shields. it also looks really good in the international media (though they seem to have a bit of a withdraw on the horrible photos subject so they’ve been using old photos from syria and iraq - the bbc have made a report about that recently, you should check it out). the israeli forces do their best to avoid hurting innocent lives - they even stop attacks if there’s too many innocent people around.because israel is faced with a choice - let innocent israeli people keep getting bombed by the terror organizations, or not respond because of the loss of civilian lives that israeli counter attacks would cause. the terror organizations in gaza don’t give a shit about that. the one thing they’re trying to do with their bombings is hurt innocent lives. that’s their declared goal. they brag about it.israel tried to not respond to the bombings for a long, long time. it angered lots of israeli people. because those bombings aren’t new, you know? we’ve been suffering the for years. it became a reality for a lot of people in the southern district. there are kids who were born into it, who don’t know what’s it like not being afraid of sirens and explosions all the time. i’m sure there are children like that in gaza too. the difference is, of course, that israel doesn’t target innocent lives. they’re being used as human shields. that’s just fact. i’m not saying what israel’s doing is all pure and well. if it was up to me we would’ve gotten a peace agreement decades ago.but unfortunately leaders of both sides are fucking cowards who’d rather see more and more people die unnecessarily in this never ending conflict rather than having to give up some things but ending this bloodshed. this isn’t about “equality” here. both sides are fucking this up and both sides are killing people for no goddamn reason instead of stopping this insanity. but don’t make it look like something that it isn’t.
