Japanese astronomers have discovered the oldest galaxy in the universe. The scientists were working in a Hawaii observatory using the Subaru and Keck telescopes on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea.
The Japanese astronomers team ascertains that the galaxy was formed 12.91 billion light years ago or 12.91 billion light years away, and their research will be officially published in the Astrophysical Journal. The scientists with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan used the Subaru and Keck telescopes on the summit of Mauna Kea – a volcano on the island of Hawaii.
Sensation discovery of these ancient galaxies in fact means that Japanese astronomers are viewing stars from the past – as the source of the light is over 6 trillion km away and takes light years for the light signals to reach the earth. The scientists were looking back in time.
Oldest Galaxy Spotted From Hawaii Telescopes – astronomers says
The Japanese astronomers maintain for the oldest galaxy found so far, that is more ‘ watertight, ‘ according to other corresponding scientists, since it revels methods that everyone can agree on. Current theory holds that the universe was born of an unimaginable explosion, called the Big Bang forming the first stars and galaxies, about 13.7 billion years ago. Using top-notch infrared and optical telescopes, the Japanese astronomers peer right through the early days of the Universe.

Matt, the stars are not bouncing off the black hole, it just looks that way for some of them becuase their orbits are very elliptical. All orbits are elliptical but some (like the Earth around the sun) are closer to being circular (a circle is simply a special case of an ellipse). They do not fall into the black hole for the same reason that the Earth does not fall into the sun their velocity keeps them in an orbit that does not take them close enough to the black hole to reach the event horizon. A black hole itself does not have a physical extent, but the event horizon is the distance from the black hole at which everything, even light, is captured by the hole’s gravity. Even though the black hole has a mass of several million suns, its event horizon is smaller than the Earth’s orbit around the sun. At the scale of the video picture, that would just be a minuscule dot at the center.
As this is a scientific report values should be in SI units i.e km rather than miles
