Red giants in blue dwarfs

Nature, 1998, vol. 391, issue 6665, 337-337

Abstract: Most galaxies that we observe are ancient, containing some stars almost as old as the Universe. But blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) had been thought younger — rare baby galaxies in among the adults. Now that is called into doubt by observations of a nearby BCD, observations sharp enough to resolve old red giant stars. It may be that there are no new galaxies.
