Discover the most distant galaxy group

The farthest galaxy population is 10.2 billion light-years from Earth, British astronomers claim.

Daily Mail said, JKCS041 - the name of the galaxy group - is made up of several hundred galaxies. It was discovered after scientists from Bristol University (UK) analyzed data of X-ray telescope named Chandra by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) and many optical and pink telescopes.

According to experts, JKCS041 probably appeared before the earth for nearly 6 billion years.

The galaxy population is the largest combination in which objects are linked by gravity. JKCS041 was discovered in 2006 by infrared telescopes, but the astronomers did not have enough evidence to conclude it was a galaxy group. Instead, they just assumed it might be a galaxy in the process of forming. Normal telescopes cannot determine its distance from the globe.

Dr. Ben Maughan - an astronomer at the University of Bristol, and his colleagues conducted a long-term analysis of the Chandra telescope data to demonstrate that JKCS041 is a fully formed galaxy group. It is located at the farthest distance in the universe. Studying its properties - such as structure, mass and temperature - can help scientists better understand the evolution of the universe.

"JKCS041 is near the end of the distance for galaxies," said Stefano Andreon, an expert at the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics.

Before JKCS041 was found, the title of the most distant galaxy group belonged to a galaxy named XMMXCS J2215.9-1738. It was discovered in 2006 and is 9.2 billion light-years from Earth.
