A remote galaxy, which has a rare in space, the visual effect of the lens, found astrologers NASA using orbital telescope "Hubble". About it it is told on the website NASA.
The galaxy is at 9.6 billion light years from the territory and, most likely, is the most distant object of the same type. According to researchers, the galaxy is quite high, due to the effect of, famous as a gravitational lens, to attract a different galaxy, located at 10.7 billion light years from our planet.
The result of a gravitational lens is contained in the fact that the gravitational field of a massive objects perverts and increases the light from more distant objects. This phenomenon helps to find unusually dull, distant galaxies, which astrologers in another development of events would never have noticed.
According to researchers, similar galaxies highly rare. With all this astrologers could see the moment of occurrence of the galaxy, because light from it came to Earth for almost 10 billion years.
