I love that Hubble image. Look at all those galaxies! It took 13 billion years for the light from that galaxy to reach us. Though we can barely see it as more than a speck, I wonder what that galaxy looks like in the present?

Actually, I was asking myself that question. An astronomer I know was around and I had the opportunity to ask her. She said that most likely the galaxy has more red spots, since those are very old red stars, as well as many black holes in it. Its shape should be more like a spiral as well, since that denotes age in a galaxy too.
