Nearby Galaxy Surprisingly Young

Pi_0's don't shower writes "The hubblesite is reporting that a galaxy discovered 70 years ago, I Zwicky 18, has been confirmed to be one of the youngest galaxies in the universe, at only 500 million years old. By contrast, our Milky Way, Andromeda, and most other nearby galaxies are 12 billion years old. This galaxy is the closest newly-formed galaxy, at only 45 million light years away, which has rather interesting implications for galaxy formation."

Interactions

So if the Milky Way exchanges some interstellar material with this youngster, can it get busted for transporting a minor across intergalactic borders?

Milkyway: a/s/l?

Zwicky: Too young for you to bang. Sorry.

Zwicky: But if you want some inside info, I heard NGC-4725 really has the hots for you. Her center hole has been getting larger with each passing millennia.

Yet more proof

that redshift is not a clock. The whole big bang thing is falling apart awfully fast, and everybody seems to be in denial.
