Astronomers Say they have Found oldest Galaxy

Astronomers Believe That They Have Found the oldest thing ever seen in the universe,It's A Galaxy Far away From us,From a lont time ago.

A team Of European Astronomers Have Managed to Calculate the oldest And Farthest Galaxy in the universe after Analysing the hidden small smudge of light in a Photograph by
Hubble Telescope earlier This year.
It was now the Farthest Thing ever know To man which was Estimated to be Formed around 13.7 billion years ago.Scientists say that the light was from the time when The universe was very young,Just 600 million years old.
The Galaxy was temporarly named by a sequence of Letter and digits ,"UDFy-38135539".
The European astronomers calculated the age after 16 hours of observations from a telescope in Chile that looked at light signatures of cooling hydrogen gas.
Earlier this year, astronomers had made a general estimate of 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang for the most distant fuzzy points of light in the Hubble photograph, which was presented at an astronomy meeting back in January.
The Light coming from The Galaxy might Be from the ages of Early big bang which is carrying some Valuable Information about the formation of universe and stars.ofcourse We are not sure that Galaxy may still be of its Earlier Form ,it may be Transformed into Bigger one or it just collapsed.
This Would be an useful finding for astrnomers to find and answer the various Questions on when The first Stars and Galaxies are formed.
