Most distant object from Earth

Post by KatrynKat »

UDFy-38135539 (also known as "HUDF.YD3") is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF) classification for a galaxy which (as of October 2010) is the most distant object in the universe observed from Earth, and thus the most distant object known to have existed. It was initially discovered by three teams in September 2009 in sensitive infrared Hubble Space Telescope images, and reported in the Astrophysical Journal, and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. These teams independently identified this source as a likely extremely distant galaxy due to it having no measurable light at visible wavelengths, on account of absorption by hydrogen gas along the line of sight. Following the discovery of this candidate distant galaxy, another team targetted this object with ground-based spectroscopy to confirm its distant nature, and the measurement of a redshift is formally detailed in the 21 October 2010 article "Spectroscopic Confirmation of a Galaxy at Redshift z=8.6" in the journal Nature, authored by an international team of colleagues comprising Matthew Lehnert, Nicole Nesvadba, Mark Swinbank, Jean-Gabriel Cuby, Simon Morris, Benjamin Clement, C. J. Evans, M.N. Bremer and Stephane Basa.

Oh wow - now that is cool.

On a related subject - I saw a telescope for a camera at the Photo and Film expo. Wow. What a stunning device.

Bwahahahahahaha :oops: you got me. I am dyslexic when it comes to typing. <sheepish grin because I knows you likes sheeps>

Too late - should have hooked up when you were at least in range. Would need to break the speed of sound to hook up now (not that I am not capable of it mind you)

So you are wishing that the hackers get to the most distant object from Earth? ;)
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.
