Abstract
A number of recent telescope images are hinting that the most distant galaxies are mature. For instance, American and European groups both report they have detected a possible spiral galaxy with an amazingly large red-shift of 4.4. Assuming the red-shift is a Doppler effect, the object is receding very rapidly away from the Earth. Assuming also the Hubble relationship that the higher the red-shift the farther away the object, this possible spiral galaxy is located near the edge of the known universe. Consequently, the light from this far object that astronomers have detected supposedly originated within about 1 billion years of the big bang.
