According to University of Texas experts, the galaxy z8_GND_5296 was observed at the time it existed 13.1 billion years ago, when its light began to radiate and travel towards the earth.

The distance of the galaxy is determined by analyzing the red light phase transition, indicating the extension of the wavelength of light to the red gamma in the spectrum.

While the 13.1 billion-year-old light travels toward Earth, the galaxy continues to move, according to Space.com.

The team expressed the surprise when they discovered distant galaxies that are converting gas and dust into new stars at an impressive fast rate, hundreds of times faster than the Milky Way's "spawning" speed.

The galaxy z8_GND_5296 was first discovered thanks to the Hubble space telescope, and its distance was confirmed by the Keck Observatory observatory in Hawaii.
