There are plenty of galaxies out there that we haven't discovered yet and one of them just said hello by photobombing the Hubble Telescope. While taking photos of the star cluster NGC the Hubble Telescope managed to capture a super small galaxy at the same time, surprising scientists and making an accidental discovery all at once. NASA says that the galaxy is about as old as our universe and can teach us many things about how galaxies change over time. They're calling it a living fossil from the beginning of our universe and that's quite exciting.
Just imagine what else is out there that's as ancient as the universe itself. This galaxy, which is being called Bedin 1, reminds me that there's so much more than we know, and makes me feel like maybe Donald Trump doesn't matter so much after all in the grand scheme of things. OK, who am I kidding, this entire administration is threatening human existence by denying climate change, but even if the humans are wiped out, there's so much more out there than just us.
