> The universe is rife with spiral galaxies both with and without central bars. Scientists think these might form as galaxies age, in part because very distant galaxies dating from the universe's early days tend not to have them. In fact, about one-fifth of the spiral galaxies from early universe contain bars, while more than two-thirds of spirals seen today have them, researchers said.

Good freaking eyecandy hyped on a stick. This kind of public funded
science infomercial is ideal for a dysfunctional FUD-master like
yourself.

Yeah, some guy spent his coffee break looking at 1,000,000,000
galactic images, and decided ones further away were blobbier.
No one told him spherical galaxies are brighter than spirals.
Sam how many did he measure?
