Hi @matheusaudibert ,

Yes, the Galaxy Brain badge can still be obtained, but not in the Community Discussions, for more info about the reasons see here.
You can still get it by answering discussions outside the Community, for example public repos with open discussions.

Hi 👋
The Galaxy Brain badge is not instant, even if you’ve already answered more than two discussions.
A few important things to know:
The badge is awarded when your answers are marked as “Accepted” (not just posted).
It usually requires multiple accepted answers (often 2 or more).
Badge updates are not real-time — it can take days or even weeks for GitHub to process and show the badge.
Sometimes GitHub rolls out badges gradually, so there can be delays even if you qualify.
So if your answers have been accepted, you’re likely eligible — you just need to wait a bit. If they haven’t been accepted yet, that’s probably why the badge hasn’t appeared.
Hope that helps! 😊
