Researchers at the University of California at Santa Cruz (U States nests) have detected a galaxy with a redshift of about 10, which corresponds to a time time at which the universe was an age of only 500 million years. The data, published in the journal Nature, have been obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope through the recent installation of the Wide Field Camera 3, and also reveal a rapid increase in the rate of star formation at this time.
Scientists led by Rychard Bouwens, have used data from Hubble to find galaxies even older and weaker light, with an index of red shift of about 10. The research paid off by identifying a candidate galaxy at a rate of about 10.3. In addition, the researchers conclude that the star formation rate increased by a factor of 10 between 500 and 600 million years after the Big Bang, which implies that this was a time when galaxies evolved very fast. "When we launched the Hubble over 20 years ago could only dream that would have the ability to make such discoveries and rewrite the textbooks," said Charles Borden, NASA, who piloted the shuttle that brought the popular telescope in orbit.
