Deep Space

Astronomen van het California Institute of Technology zijn erin geslaagd om met de Keck II telescope op de Mauna Kea vulkaan in Hawaii verder het heelal in te kijken dan ooit tevoren.
By magnifying the telescope's range, the scientists said they were able to see light generated by galaxies 13 billion years ago, when the universe was only 500 million years old. At that time, the universe was still in its "Dark Ages" because hydrogen atoms hadn't broken apart and stars hadn't yet formed.
