Using its infrared vision to peer nine billion years back in time, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered an extraordinary population of tiny, young galaxies that are brimming with star formation.
An extraordinary population of young dwarf galaxies, brimming with star formation, has been uncovered with Hubble.
The galaxies are churning out stars at such a rate that the number of stars in them would double in just ten million years.
For comparison, the Milky Way has taken a thousand times longer to double its stellar population.
These newly discovered dwarf galaxies are around a hundred times smaller than the Milky Way.
Their star formation rates are extremely high, even for the young Universe, when most galaxies were forming stars at higher rates than they are today.
They have turned up in the Hubble images because the radiation from young, hot stars has caused the oxygen in the gas surrounding them to light up like a fluorescent sign.
