Candidate of the first galaxy of the universe?
American experts have discovered a constellation
American experts have discovered a "fossil" constellation that formed shortly after the Big Bang event.
Most galaxies are thought to be massive star structures with the number of members having millions or billions of stars.

However, the Segue 1 dwarf galaxy , 75,000 light-years away from Earth, has caused astrophysicists to suffer because of their modest size.
It contains only a few hundred stars and has not produced new stars for more than 13 billion years, a factor that suggests it may be a fossil remnant from the early universe, according to Space.com.
The expert group led by Anna Frebel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published the results of the data collected from the Magellan Telescope of the Las Campanas Observatory at Chike and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. .
Segue 1's ' stunting ' situation can happen during the period called 're-ionization era' 13.2 billion years ago, the period when any galaxy loses its ability to 'star' .
It is expected that there are about 200 galaxies like Segue 1 around us.
