Detecting the blue galaxy

International astronomers have discovered a supposedly oldest blue galaxy in the known galaxies so far.

Find the oldest blue galaxy in the universe

In the study published in the May 6 issue of the journal Astrophysics, scientists from Yale University and the University of California in the US said the EGS-zs8-1 galaxy was originally distributed. shows in recorded images from the Hubble telescope and Spitzer space telescope of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA).

Then, using the MOSFIRE tool of Keck Observatory located in Hawaii (USA), scientists have identified the location and estimated galaxy EGS-zs8-1 formed more than 13 years ago. billion years, when the universe was only about 670 million years old. Besides, the team also found that this galaxy is in the process of accelerating the process of star formation at a rate 80 times higher than that of the Milky Way galaxy.

This is also the brightest and most distant galaxy known to man when it was 13.1 billion light-years away from Earth.

Previously, astronomers also discovered a ring of fire 12 billion light years from Earth. However, this is not a ring of fire but illusion due to the random alignment of two distant galaxies.

According to experts, this impressive circular structure is a rare manifestation of the gravitational lens phenomenon that Albert Einstein conjectured in his general theory of relativity. In this particular case, the galaxy called SDP.81 and an impacting galaxy are so perfectly aligned that the light from the farther galaxy forms a nearly perfect circle, if viewed from the Left. land.
