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 | ...

... 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. ...

. Astronomers have used observations from HubbleтАЩs CANDELS survey to explore the sizes, shapes, and colors of distant galaxies over the last 80 percent of the universeтАЩs history. In the universe today, galaxies come in a variety of different forms and are classified via a system known as the Hubble Sequence тАФ and it turns out that this sequence was already in place as early as 11 billion years ago. // NASA/ESA

... STScI-PRC01-04 HUBBLE'S ULTRAVIOLET VIEWS OF NEARBY GALAXIES YIELD CLUES TO EARLY UNIVERSE Astronomers are using these three NASA Hubble Space Telescope images to help tackle the question of why distant galaxies have such odd shapes, appearing markedly different from the typical elliptical and spiral galaxies seen in the nearby universe. ... Light from these galaxies travels great distances (billions of light-years) to reach Earth. ... These stars emit mostly ultraviolet light. ...

... Confirmation that a mysterious cloud of hydrogen in the Virgo Cluster is a dark galaxy has been published by a team of astronomers .
