A team of astronomers found the most distant mature galaxies at a record-breaking distance of 12 billion light-years, seen when the universe was just 1.6 billion years old.

Subsequent sensitive observations such as Hubble’s Ultra Deep Field revealed a myriad of faint galaxies. This led to an estimate that the observable universe contained about 100 billion galaxies.

Astronomers discovered a large haul of massive galaxies from the early universe. The find is surprising, and may prompt a rethink of how large galaxies form.

The observable universe is more crowded than we thought. New observations from the Hubble Space Telescope reveal the number of galaxies is 10 times higher than previously believed.
