Galaxy found out early universe – Dutch Newspaper

LED Dutch and American scientists have found the oldest galaxy ever possible. They saw light emitted more than 13 billion years ago and only now reaching the earth. To illustrate: light puts every second a distance of about 300,000 kilometers. The discovery was announced Tuesday.

The system has been named EGS zs8-1. Because it was still young, creates a lot of new stars. The pace is about eighty times as high as in our galaxy.

At the time of EGS zs8-1 the universe was only 650 million years old. There are also previously found a few of those early galaxies. The researchers call that “pieces of the puzzle how the first galaxies emerged.”
