Galaxy From Dawn of Universe Is Oldest Seen
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A team of Swiss and French astronomers said it had found the most distant galaxy yet, a cluster of stars from the dawn of the universe 13.2 billion light years from Earth.
The images of Abell 1835 IR1916 reveal a galaxy at a time when the universe was only 470 million years old. Up to now, the oldest galactic images were believed to be from 750 million years after the big bang. The discovery was made using the ground-based telescope in Chile.
