Faintest ever galaxy that existed 400 mn years after the Big Bang ‘captured’ by NASA
A team of astronomers harnessing the combined power of NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes have found the faintest object ever (a galaxy) seen in the early universe. It existed about 400 million years after the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago.
