&quot;It&#39;s like finding a living fossil in your own back yard,&quot; said Tim Heckman of Johns Hopkins. &quot;We thought this type of galaxy had gone extinct, but in fact newborn galaxies are alive and well in the universe.

Several dozen baby galaxies have turned up in galactic retirement communities near the Milky Way, new observations reveal. The objects resemble primitive galaxies from the early universe and may shed light on what triggers galaxies to form.

Astronomers have spotted three dozen bright, young galaxies that defy the general aging trends of the universe. The galaxies, fairly nearby and massive, are more youthful than they ought to be, based on current theory.

Scientists want Internet users to help them sort through an unusual digital photo album: pictures of about 1 million galaxies. In a Web statement Wednesday, astronomers asked for volunteers to help classify the galaxies, identifying them as either elliptical or spiral, and noting, where possible, in which direction they rotate.

Astronomers have found what they believe to be several of the earliest star-forming galaxies, in a detailed analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images released earlier this year.

NASA's infrared eyes are probing the beginnings of both stars and planets.  In two separate observations, the Spitzer Space Telescope has uncovered the warm glow from a possible stellar infant and an icy disk where planets may one-day form.
