The European telescope spotted 72 new galaxies

The Southern Observatory's large telescope measuring device used data from the Hubble Space Telescope, and discovered 72 new galaxies dating back 13 billion years.

An innovative measuring instrument on a telescope in Chile discovered 72 mysterious galaxies dating back 13 billion years, right after the universe was formed.

Galaxies were discovered through the Universal Spectrophotometer (MUSE) on the Southern Europe Observatory's Large Telescope (VLT) using data from the Hubble Space Telescope.

From September 2003 to January 2004, a small trail in the sky was shot in the constellation Fornax and captured a beautiful galaxy in an area less than 2% of the moon. Some galaxies were formed immediately after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago.

After the initial observation, the Hubble Telescope has repeatedly captured similar areas in the Fornax constellation, the richest view ever seen of the universe.

Astronomers used MUSE to study 1,600 galaxies in deep areas like Hubble. MUSE uses spectral technology to separate light emitted from galaxies into multiple component colors. This allows experts to measure the distance, color and various properties of the observed galaxy.

By the above method, the data collected images of 72 new galaxies dating back to 13 billion years of Hubble lighting. These new data also provide a lot of information including hydrogen particles on early-formed galaxies.
