Astronomers May Have Spotted One of the Most Distant Known Galaxies
NASA's Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes have spotted a candidate for one of the most distant galaxies known to man. Researchers estimate that the galaxy, referred to as Abell2744 Y1, formed 650 million years after the big bang (our universe is 13.8 billion years old). Compared to our Milky Way Galaxy, the new discovery is about 30 times smaller but is producing about 10 times more stars, according to a release describing the findings.
