Ganz verblüffender!

Suddenly the Andromeda Galaxy has tripled its size! Bet you didn't think the galaxy was expanding that fast, right?

Actually, it's just a halo of 3000 extra stars that French scientists (aided by an Hawaiian telescope) have determined to be moving with the Andromeda Galaxy. But we could see a lot more expansion if other spiral galaxies work the same way.

So eine verblüffendere Entdeckung, nicht wahr?
Such an amazing discovery, isn't it?

Isn't that a lovely word... verblüffender! Means amazing or puzzling.
