Science+Daily!

I read a really cool article on how scientists found that a new star had formed in an ancient galaxy!! How amazing is that?!?!? Read the paragraphs below to find more info. on this topic.

__Hubble Captures New Star Birth in Ancient Galaxy__- Nasa's hubble space telescope found a new star in a elliptical galaxy, which supposable formed it's stars billions of years ago. An elliptical galaxy is a galaxy that has clusters of stars and they can vary in size. Giant ellipticals can be up to 10 trillion solar masses of stars and smaller elliptical galaxies can be up to 10 million solar masses. It used to be thought that elliptical galaxies were the oldest galaxies, but recent studies show that they still can form stars and life. They say this event happened due to a dwarf galaxy (a smaller elliptical) colliding with the larger elliptical galaxy.

Astronomers say that a new study says that elliptical galaxies have young stars, bringing new life to old galaxies. Mark Crockett from the University of Oxford said that it was thought that elliptical galaxies made all their stars billions of years ago, but now they are finding many star births in many elliptical galaxies and that they are occuring because of collisions of smaller galaxies. He also says that this evidence helps back up the theory that the universe made itself, billions of years ago. My personal opinion is that this also proves that this is just God's hand at work! I also think this article is very interesting! It starts to make me wonder... if we've come this far, what will we be able to see in the future?? This also encourages me to get more into space, matter and etc. I agree that we can find new ways to adjust our theories and extend our knowledge to a higher level. Someday, I might become an astromomer!
