American astronomer Steven Finkelstein (Steven Finkelstein) led the research team that discovered the most distant galaxy. Scientists have been able not only to detect it, but also to measure the distance to it. We see this galaxy, as if she was only 700 million years after the Big Bang. At the moment it is really the most distant galaxy known to us. The galaxy was designated z8_GND_5296. Below it is a picture of her, made orbiting telescope “Hubble”.
At the same time, astronomers have found several candidates in the most distant galaxy from Earth by space telescope “Hubble”. All of these have not yet confirmed galaxies belong to the early universe.
distance to the most remote galaktikiz8_GND_5296 was measured using a powerful telescope Keck Observatory. It was mainly involved instrument MOSFIRE, by which have been made the most accurate measurements of the distance to the galaxy. He is not only super-sensitive, but at the same time allows us to study several subjects “.
Sam Finkelstein noted, “It is simply amazing tool that has a lot of potential”.
