UA Astronomers Glimpse Galaxies Near Cosmic Dawn
Peering deeper into the cosmos than ever before, an international team of astronomers found the most distant galaxies to date, observed as they were more than 13 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 3 percent of its present age. The observations show a smooth decline in the number of galaxies with increasing look-back time to about 380 million years after the big bang and support the idea that galaxies assembled continuously over time.
