Thanks everyone for your input.

Is this old information?

Well, since the link you provided took us to an article that was posted yesterday, I'd say that the information is pretty new. Why not post it in the Breaking News folder? :D

I probably should let our APOD hosts get an on-line photo of this first.

Meanwhile, Ann, how old do you suppose are the oldest, or farthest away, galaxies that we can clearly see are very much like ours and those around us?
