Exclamation New galaxy discovered

Reported in today's "Age", 27/3/09, p3. A dwarf galaxy named SUCDI . It was formed not long after the "Big Bang" sitting in the Sombrero galaxy. Discovered by five astronomers from Swinbourne Uni and three Americans in Hawaii. At 33,000 ly its the closest to Earth, and could be up to 10billion years old.
