13.2 Billion Year Old Galaxy

[AFTT47]

That's a damn young galaxy!  500 million years A.B. is not a lot of time for much structure to form.

More evidence that the universe is older than our current models indicate?

MORE evidence? I thought the 13.7 billion year figure was pretty solid.

When I was a kid, the oft-quoted figure was 10-20 billion years. By the time I was a young adult, it had been narrowed to 10-15 billion years. When they came out with the study showing 13.7 billion years, I was impressed that they had the confidence to quote it down to a 100 million-year window. It would be pretty embarrassing if it were found to be substantially off that.
