Farthest known galaxy in the universe discovered: Nasa

Live Mint  

Washington: Nasa scientists have spotted the farthest known galaxy in the universe, a primitive cluster of stars just 500 million years old. An intensive survey deep into the universe by Nasa’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes has yielded the image of the galaxy named SPT0615-JD, stretched and amplified by a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. “No other candidate galaxy has been found at such a great distance that also gives you the spatial information that this arc image does,” said Brett Salmon of the Space Telescope Science Institute in the US. The galaxy is right at the limits of Hubble’s detection capabilities, but just the beginning for the upcoming Nasa James Webb Space Telescope’s powerful capabilities, said Salmon.

Astronomers Discover Galaxy That Challenges Our Understanding of How Galaxies Form

CNN  

Astronomers have discovered a distant Milky Way-like galaxy that has surprisingly similar characteristics to our own Milky Way. The galaxy, named REBELS-25, is much younger than our galaxy, but it already shares its rotation and structure, rather than appearing clumpy and chaotic like other early galaxies.
