Gemini Discovers Intense Star Forming Galaxy in Early UniverseRecent observations by Dr. James Rhoads (STScI) and a team of astronomers using GMOS on Gemini North reveals a galaxy 12.8 billion light-years away (z=6.535) undergoing a burst of star formation unlike any yet seen at this distance. The results of this work show that faraway galaxies in the young universe can help scientists probe conditions less than a billion years after the Big Bang. More information here
