Recently, the scientists monitored the sky for what they call ‘teenager galaxies’. It is extremely hard to find young galaxies because they are just a tiny spot in the sky.Nevertheless, the scientists managed to locate these young guys in space with their massive telescopes. A group of international researchers discovered and identified 27 pre galactic fragments. These are supposedly the young building blocks of big galaxies in the universe.
Cambridge University scientist Martin Haehnelt used European Southern Observatory’s very large telescope to keep an eye on part of the universe. The monitoring was done for a constant 92 hours. Apparently, the scientists think that the galaxies are formed when smalled chunks of spatial objects get together. The Cambridge researchers did manage to locate the smaller proto galaxies in the universe.
The powerful telescopes help scientists follow the light sources. The process can be likened with a regular camera. As Martin agrees:

The process was a bit like taking a photograph and keeping the shutter open for a very long time.
The technique used to locate the smaller lumps took the scientists as far back as 11 billion years or should I say light years? I think the discovery of the proto galaxies is a major milestone although, scientists aren’t sure about the scope of this discovery.
