... A Baby Galaxy . ... 24.03.1998 . ... Keck 10-m Telescope Explanation: What's the farthest galaxy known? The answer keeps changing as astronomers compete to find new galaxies which top the list. ... Detected light left this galaxy billions of years ago , well before the Earth formed, when the universe was younger than 1/10th of its present age. ... Young galaxies are of much interest to astronomers because many unanswered questions exist on when and how galaxies formed in the early universe . ...

... 2004 January 20 . Unexpected Galaxy String in the Early Universe . ... Explanation: How could such a long string of galaxies form so early in the universe? Several new measurements of galaxies and clusters in the early universe are reporting structures involving galaxies and clusters that are larger than expected with the new standard "dark-energy" cosmology . The controversy centers on the inability of a dark-energy dominated universe to create such large structures. ... About APOD | ...

A galaxy is born: This artist's impression shows a young galaxy, about two billion years after the Big Bang, accreting material from the surrounding hydrogen and helium gas and forming many young stars. ... Galaxies, distant from us in space and time, have been in the news recently. ... Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory have observed another process which helped primordial galaxies grow. ...

... NOTE TO EDITORS: GALAXY FLY-THROUGH AVAILABLE ONLINE . HUGE GALAXY STRING CHALLENGES SPACE THEORY . An enormous string of galaxies 300 million light-years long has been discovered in the remote Universe, challenging existing theories about how the Universe evolved. ...

... Interacting galaxies . ... Catalogues . ... We define a volume limited sample of over 14,000 early-type galaxies (ETGs) selected from data release six of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The density of environment of each galaxy is robustly measured. By comparing narrow band spectral line indices with recent models of simple stellar populations (SSPs) we investigate trends in the star formation history as a function of galaxy mass (velocity dispersion), density of environment and galactic radius. ...

These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...
