Hubble Detects Uber-Strong Radio Transmission From Ancient "Blob"

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed the possible birthplace of the most distant fast radio burst ever observed.
The fast radio burst originated from a group of at least seven galaxies that existed when the universe was five billion years old.

What created more light: the Big Bang or stars?

The Universe, 13.8 billion years old, contains an estimated 6 to 20 trillion galaxies, with much of its star-formation history rooted in the past.

Look! This Warped Galaxy Is Erupting With New Stars From Inside Its Tail

Galaxy AM 1054-325 has a distorted shape due to its close encounter with another galaxy.
The tidal tail of the galaxy is where new stars are forming due to the interactions between galaxies.
