Dear Sir.

There seems to be a contradiction between your remarks as cited by
"space.com" and the paper you publish in ArXiv.

Space.com quotes you with:
"Yet this distant cluster appears to be full of old galaxies," discovery
team member Adam Stanford noted with amazement.
(http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...y_cluster.html)

but in the paper you write:

"As can be seen in Figure 2, the colors of the member galaxies are
consistent with
those exected for early-type galaxies whose stars formed at 2 zf 3.0."

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

I have received an answer from Mr Adam Stanford:


I quote:


You should not take remarks quoted in press releases too seriously -
what counts scientifically is what is written in our ApJ paper.
