Hubble's timeless power

With the Hubble telescope, astronomers looked through space and time, seeing through the universe at its earliest time.

At this point, Hubble helped humanity reach the distant past universe. Specifically, it helped the experts identify six new galaxies, formed after only a few hundred million years of Big Bang.

Currently, researchers are updating information about the seventh galaxy, most likely the farthest galaxy ever observed. Named UDFj-39546284 , it can symbolize when the universe is less than 3% of its current age.

The new research project, led by head of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech, USA) Richard Ellis, provided data on the universe at birth, which supported the theory that the first galaxies produced smoothly and went through a process, not instantaneous outbreaks.

Thanks to Hubble, experts have observed objects between 380 million and 600 million years after the Big Bang, according to the BBC.

However, coming here may be Hubble's limited point. To further delve into the past of the universe, many astronomical possibilities are forced to wait until its descendants are James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), orbit in 2018.

During that time, Hubble will be able to be used to expand the scope of astronomical research, such as exploring new airspace.
