A glowing red object in the early Universe has been identified as the most distant galaxy discovered to date.
. Between them, they racked up over 1,200 hours of observing time, peering into the Cosmic Dawn to search for light in the early Universe.of the University of Tokyo in Japan."HD1's red color matched the expected characteristics of a galaxy 13.5 billion light-years away surprisingly well, giving me a little bit of goosebumps when I found it."
Because the Universe is expanding, other galaxies appear to be redshifted; the greater the distance away in space-time, the greater the redshift. This effect allows astronomers to calculate how far light has traveled to reach us. The number was incredibly high, over 100 stars a year. That's 10 times higher than expected for a galaxy in the early Universe. This tension could be resolved, however, if the stars being born were not the same as the stars we see being born today.
That size seriously challenges supermassive black hole growth models. It's very chonky, very early in the Universe.

Lasers Recreate the Conditions Inside Galaxy Clusters - Universe TodayGalaxies don’t exist in a vacuum. Ok, maybe they do (mostly, since even interstellar space has some matter in it). But galaxies aren’t normally solitary objects. Multiple galaxies interacting gravitationally can form clusters. These clusters can interact with each other, forming superclusters. Our own galaxy is part of a group of galaxies called the Local … Continue reading 'Lasers Recreate the Conditions Inside Galaxy Clusters'
