Possible oldest galaxy in the universe discovered

Possible oldest galaxy in the universe discovered

A galaxy 12.91 billion light years from this planet has been observed.

Hawaii’s Mauna Kea is home to the Subaru and Keck telescopes that Japanese astronomers have used to discover the possibly oldest galaxy in the universe. The galaxy which is 12.91 billion light years away is not the first one that has reportedly been observed with some claims of galaxies just over 13 billion light years away being detected too.

In other space news, NASA’s latest hunt for black holes starts today. It has been assumed that as much as two thirds of the black holes that exist in the universe may be hidden from view right now. There is a lot that can be learned from studying black holes about the origins of the universe.

There is more happening in the world of astronomy as the world’s largest optical telescope is being made. This is definitely going to make inroads into the study of how planetary systems formed early on.

As a space enthusiast and physics lover, I am thrilled with these developments and it will definitely help in increasing our knowledge and understanding of physics and the workings of the universe.

I guess it has been a pretty busy week on the space report and NASA is definitely a long way from going down, as it has been rumored to be. But it’s like what I said, there are always going to be detractors and critics. There are always two sides to any story and many different opinions for any given situation or project that is being undertaken.

As for now, the space report will remain busy with posts on NASA’s myriad projects.
