Farthest galaxies unlock the mystery of origin of the universe.
<P> Technology Channel (tech.) news: Scientists say they have discovered a galaxy about 130 million light years, which is by far the most distant galaxies found in humans. .This discovery will help people to understand since the epoch since the stellar populations of galaxies and large structures such as the initial formation of the universe way. .</ P> <P> 136.6 million years ago the Big Bang created the universe, this galaxy was named IOK-1, it is so far away, the light waves from reaching the Earth, scientists believe that it is formed shortly after the Big Bang .galaxy. .Astronomers of the period known as the "dark ages", at that time, elementary particles in the universe formation of the first stars and galaxies. .But until now, scientists had been unable to form a galaxy of mystery. .</ P> <P> in Hawaii Hilo (Hilo) using Subaru telescope to study the Japanese astronomers have invented a filter, to observe the Earth over billions of light years away from the light, it has .expansion of the universe is stretched to infrared light at the end. .The scientists, whose findings will be published in the 14's "Nature" magazine, they said they had expected to find at least 6 months and IOK-1 is similar to 12.88 billion light years away galaxies. .A light year is the running light in the distance, about 5.88 trillion miles. .</ P> <P> However, scientists have found only one object can be considered as a galaxy, which makes them think they saw something called "ionization" process, then the first stars will be free floating .hydrogen atoms into the transparent plasma gas that fills much of the gas in the universe. .According to this theory, from other, and IOK-1 galaxy cluster as old as the light is blocked by hydrogen atoms, these hydrogen atoms are still intact and not be "ionized." .</ P> <P> Another theory maintains that the universe after the Big Bang to 7.8 billion years, almost no galaxies exist. .This means that the ionization process has already happened. .Astronomers said that no matter what kind of theories that the universe has changed dramatically since the 6000 years, it will be observed from the Earth to the IOK-1 and its neighboring galaxies separated the oldest. .Scientists have found another with similar objects IOK-1, but not sure it is a distant galaxy or something else, such as black holes. .</ P> </ p>.
