Even the part of the infinite universe that we can only observe presents us with new surprises every day. In this area, which we call ‘only we can observe’, with a diameter of about 93 billion light years, scientists this time managed to discover the farthest galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy we are in. The first information about the galaxy was quite interesting.
It has been announced that the new galaxy called ‘HD1’, which is the new discovery of scientists, is 13.5 billion light years away from Earth. While there are no clear findings about the type and features of the galaxy, according to another shared information, this galaxy came into existence almost 330 million years after the Big Bang. So the galaxy is too old for our universe.
was only a faint red dot among 700 thousand objects:
Today’s technology unfortunately still allows us to observe distant galaxies like HD1 in detail and even detect them. not entirely possible. Because even quasars, the brightest celestial bodies in the universe, lose their brightness in the darkness of the universe at such a distance. The discovery of HD1 took place thanks to a total of four powerful optical and infrared telescopes.
The Galaxy revealed itself after 1,200 hours of observations with the Subaru Telescope, VISTA Telescope, UK Infrared Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope. What betrayed the galaxy was the expected redness of galaxies this far away. This red light, which appeared among about 700 thousand objects, created excitement in scientists.
Scientists plan to learn more about this galaxy with the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be available soon and will be responsible for investigating the first moments of the universe.
