z~10 Galaxy Candidates
(Preview)
Astronomers have caught a glimpse of galaxies that existed a mere 500 million years after the Big Bang, more than 13 billion years ago. For the past few months, researchers have been poring over the new WFC3 data set - a sliver of sky about one-twelfth the diameter of the full Moon, viewed for 173,000 se...

Transparent universe reveals hidden galaxies The universe is far more transparent at high energies than we thought. This discovery - based on sightings of unexpectedly bright objects that should be too far away to see so clearly - may call into question our understanding of how galaxies are born an...
