Strange New "Species" of Ultra-Red Galaxies Discovered
In the distant reaches of the universe, almost 13 billion light-years from Earth, a strange species of galaxies lay hidden. Cloaked in dust and dimmed by the intervening distance, even the Hubble Space Telescope couldn't spy it. It took the revealing power of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to uncover not one, but four remarkably red galaxies. And while astronomers can describe the members of this new "species," they can't explain what makes them so red.
Comments:
Very interesting article. Our models for galaxy formation and planet formation are evolving rapidly. Future astronomers may look back on the last 10 years and the next 20 years as "The Great Discovery Era in Astronomy." <img class='' src='http://new.astromart.com/astromart/javascripts/sceditor/emoticons/wink.png' alt='wink' title='wink'/>
