Distant galaxies
Distant galaxies are celestial structures located at significant cosmological distances from Earth, often observed as they appeared in the early universe due to the finite speed of light. Studying these objects provides critical insights into galaxy evolution, cosmology, and the reionization epoch.
Key Observations & Research
