The international team of astronomers, using the Hubble Space Telescope, in the month of October 2013, detected the most distant galaxy as of now, entitled z8_GND_5296. The discovery was confirmed with the ground-based Keck Observatory in Hawaii. The newly discovered galaxy is around 30 billion light-years away and will help the scientists in knowing about that period which followed just immediately after the Big Bang. Lead researcher from the University of Texas at Austin, US- Steven Finkelstein explained that this was the most distant galaxy. The galaxy is seen as it was 700 million years after the Big Bang. About the newly discovered galaxy • The galaxy is named z8_GND_5296. • It is the most distant galaxy as of now. • It is 30 billion light years away from the Earth. • The galaxy is redder than the usual. Astronomers rated it as the red-shift. • The researchers discovered that this galaxy had the red-shift of 7.51, which in turn, beat the previous record of 7.21 red-shift. • The system of the galaxy is small- around 1-2 percent the overall mass of the Milky Way. • The galaxy z8_GND_5296 is rich in the heavier elements. • The most remarkable feature of this galaxy is that it is turning the gases as well as the dust into new stars at a faster pace. • It is important to note that this is the second far-off galaxy which has the high star-production rate. In the times to come, the astronomers will discover more galaxies after the launch of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
