Hubble has spotted ‘impossible’ light in deep space, and scientists are trying to explain where it came from
- Picture credit: NasaAstronomers have detected light from a tiny but powerful galaxy that existed when the universe was still emerging from a vast fog of hydrogen gas.
- The discovery, made using the Hubble Space Telescope and confirmed with data from the James Webb Space Telescope and a giant telescope in Chile, gives scientists one of their clearest views yet of a period once thought to be almost impossible to study.
- For hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with neutral hydrogen that blocked much of the energetic ultraviolet light produced by the first stars
Unverified
