RRE on nonfiction link: http://www.latinospost.com/articles/13770/20130306/galactic-neighbor-40000-light-years-closer-milky-way-previously-believed.htm

This article by Cole Hill is about a new study that has measured the distance of a galaxy, the study shows that the galaxy is now 40,000 light years closer to the milky way that previously thought. The method used to measure the distance of the galaxy may change the way we measure things now. Although now scientists are focusing on looking at the galaxy that is closest to us.

I think this article is really cool. The fact that the galaxy is moving closer to us could be good and bad. Maybe the new method of measuring is the reason it is closer, I think that we should sent a probe to the galaxy, I know that it will take hundreds of years to get to the galaxy but it could open the eyes for the future and help them see what is out there.
