Hubble spots
ancient galaxy
(AP) —Astronomers using the Hubble
Space Telescope have peered 13 billion years
back into time, almost to the dawn of cre
ation, to find the oldest, most distant object
ever detected: a galaxy fizzing with new stars.
The galaxy lies near the edge of the uni
verse, 13 billion light-years from Earth, where
its presence was detected by its faint ultravi
olet light, which is invisible to conventional
telescopes.
Paradoxically, the oldest known galaxy —
dubbed “Sharon” after the sister of one of its
discoverers — appears young to us.
That is because the deeper astronomers
look into space, the further back in time they
are looking. It takes so long for light traveling
through space to reach Earth that as
tronomers scanning the edges of the universe
are seeing objects as they were billions of
years ago.
By some estimates, we are seeing the
galaxy as it existed 1 billion years after the Big
Bang, the colossal explosion believed to have
created the universe.
The discovery by researchers at the State
University of New York at Stony Brook was
reported in Thursday’s issue of the journal
Nature.
It marks the third time in the past year that
astronomers have found what were thought
to be the most distant objects yet.
Other astronomers said the finding can
help them determine when galaxies formed
and developed and learn more about the ori
gins of the chemical elements that make life
possible.
“Finding the most distant galaxies is akin
to finding the oldest fossils on Earth,” said
Patrick McCarthy of the Carnegie Institution
Observatories in Pasadena, Calif. “They give
you a handle on the timing and processes by
which the first recognizablegalaxies coalesced
from the primordial sea of light elements.’
Galaxies appear to come in two basic de
signs — disc-shaped spiral galaxies like the
Milky Way and more massive, elliptical galax
ies. But the SUNY researchers said their tar
get is much too far away even for the Hubble
to see clearly, so they cannot say what type it
might be.
In fact, the new galaxy is so faint that some
astronomers said they might have to wait un
til better instruments are developed to learn
something from it.
