Astronomers discover one of the brightest distant galaxies
International researchers have discovered one of the brightest distant galaxies in the universe, located at 11.4 billion light years from Earth. Identified as 'BG1429+1202', the newly discovered galaxy emits Lyman alpha radiation, one of the brightest in the ultraviolet range. The discovery was possible after the galaxy's apparent brightness was increased by the zooming effect of another galaxy.
