Later analysis of light from 3C 326.1 revealed that it was a newborn galaxy, three times as long as the diameter of the Milky Way. At the time the light viewed by Spinrad left 3C 326.1, which was 12 billion years ago, the new galaxy was forming sun-size stars at the rate of about 3,000 to 5,000 a year...

If the bill passes, as expected, it would enable Michigan parents with newborn babies to invest roughly $3,000 in future tuition with a new state authority. In return, the children would be guaranteed a full four years at any of the 15 colleges in the state system starting in 2005.
