The BX442 galaxy (full name HB89 2343+125 BX442; also one of the galaxies in the HB89 2343+125 field) is a spiral galaxy 10,700 million (nearly 11,000 million) light-years (redshift of 2.2) from Earth in the Pegasus constellation, and is 30,000 light-years in diameter (3 times smaller than the Milky Way), and contains 60 billion stars (60 percent of the Milky Way's stars). In the next 100 million years, it will be back to its primitive shape. It emitted its light 10,700 million (almost 11,000 million) years ago when the universe was 3000 million years old.
