Around 10 and 20 percent of early galaxies may still remain hidden behind curtains of cosmic dust.
Thanks to the Atacama Large Milimeter Array in Chile, a team of astronomers discovered two galaxies invisible to the Hubble Space Telescope.
The two 'heavily dust-obscured' galaxies - called REBELS-12-2 and REBELS-29-2 - were found during observations with the ALMA radio telescopes in Chile's Atacama Desert.
Scientists at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute have recently spotted two formerly undetectable galaxies 29 billion light-years away from Earth. The two galaxies have been undetectable to the optical lens of the Hubble Space Telescope, concealed behind a dense layer of cosmic dust that encompasses them.
