Japanese astronomers have discovered two hidden galaxies at the “edge of space and time,” which Einstein described as “space-time,” using 66 radio telescopes to discover very long distances and penetrate environments and overlapping universes.
According to a report published by the magazine “vice” on Thursday September 23, 2021, astronomers have watched, by pure chance, two galaxies at the “limit of time and space” which remained hidden and hidden behind a thick veil of dust, until they have now been discovered.
These obscured galaxies formed over 13 billion years ago, only about 800 million years after the birth of the universe itself, which could allow scientists to find other ancient objects covered in dust.
The discovery was led by a group of scientists led by Yoshinobu Fudamoto, an astronomer at the Scientific and Technical Research Institute at Waseda University in Japan, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ).
According to tweaktown, the team used the Atacama Large Millimeter Subarray (ALMA), located in Chile, to make the discovery.
The (ALMA) system is an astronomical interferometer made up of 66 radio telescopes capable of seeing through accumulated environments and universes located at “unbelievably” very great distances.
The team found the two new galaxies by observing two target galaxies named REBELS-12 and REBELS-29.
During the observations, the team noticed that thousands of light years away from the target galaxies, there were strange light emissions which they traced and studied their source.
After research and monitoring, the team discovered two galaxies, named “REBELS-12-2” and “REBELS-29-2”.
These galaxies are hidden for a very long time behind a cloud of cosmic dust, where they cannot be seen by ultraviolet radiation or optical light.
Researchers estimate that the newly discovered galaxies formed just 800 million years after the birth of the universe, 13.8 billion years ago.
