Default BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | New galaxies teem with baby stars

Taken from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4117861.stm

The Universe still produces massive newborn galaxies full of baby stars,
despite being billions of years old.

The findings are a surprise - many astronomers thought the Universe had
gone through a "cosmic menopause" and was now incapable of such
formations.

The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (Galex) telescope detected 36 bright,
compact galaxies resembling the youthful ones that existed billions
years ago.

Etc...
