The explosion of a star that occurred billions of years ago, got into the field of view telescope
Implications giant star explosion that occurred billions of years ago, that is, at the very beginning of the universe, finally came to the attention of the telescope, passes the BBC.
NASA's orbiting telescope owned by Swift observed the explosion of one of the most distant from the Earth's stars at a distance of more than 13 billion light-years away.
Only now the trace of the explosion reached our planet.
then other telescopes installed in different countries, as captured hard gamma-rays.
According to researchers, on the ground exploded star most likely formed black hole.
We have opened previously unexplored spaces and great opportunities. This is the most remote of gamma-rays and the most remote object ever seen from Earth – I am sure the British scientist Nyala Tanvir.
found that during the explosion of a star universe was 630 million years, that is, it was 20 times younger than now.
Orbital Telescope Swift was put into operation in 2004 in order to fix the lighting changes in the universe, describing the unusual cosmic phenomenon.
Significant participation in the project are NASA's national space agency of Great Britain and Italy.
Previous most remote space object was recorded in September 2008 by the same telescope Swift. However, based on the redshift of spectral lines, scientists have determined that it is 190 million light-years closer than the object, detected April 23, 2009.
