Astronomers have discovered a galaxy
some 13.200 billion light years away - the
most distant galaxy ever seen. Light from
this galaxy, known as Abell 1835 IR1916,
provides information about the universe
when it was just 3% of its current age. The
light was emitted about 470 million years
after the big bang and could tell us more
about how the first galaxies formed after
the "dark ages" in the early universe (R
Pelló et al. 2004 Astronomy & Astrophysics
to be published).
