The galaxy has the highest rate of 'production'
One of the farthest galaxies that scientists are studying is speed
One of the farthest galaxies that scientists are studying has an impressive speed of "production" : 100 stars per year.
International astronomers have discovered this phenomenon in the water droplet galaxy GN-108036 12.9 billion light-years from the solar system, thanks to NASA's Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes.

Spitzer and Hubble data were used to measure the rate of star births, and in the case of GN-108036 , the number of stars was born every year and numbered 100.
For ease of comparison, our Milky Way is 10 times larger and weighs 100 times more weight than GN-108036, but the ability to "give birth" is 30 times weaker each year.
This is a research project with team leader Masami Ouchi of Tokyo University, Japan. First, they identified this distant galaxy after using the Subaru telescope on top of Mauna Kea to sweep the sky.
Due to the large distance of GN-108036, experts had to wait for the group at WM Keck Observatory to confirm before making a final conclusion.
GN-108036 appeared at the beginning of the universe, after only 750 million years since the Big Bang event. Its light took 12.9 billion years to reach Earth.
This high star production rate shows that the GN-108036 quickly symbolizes at the time the universe is only 5% of its current age.
