Hubble Space Telescope discovers 11-billion-year-old galaxy hidden in a quasar's glare
78% Informative
Astronomers have discovered an 11-billion-year-old galaxy that absorbs more light than other galaxies found in a similar fashion.
Using the Hubble Space Telescope , astronomers used a tricky technique to find out what light had passed through on its way to our telescopes.
As light passes through a background galaxy toward a foreground galaxy, for instance, gas and dust in the foreground galaxy will absorb some of the background one's wavelengths.
The team was also able to determine that the galaxy has a bright counterpart.
