MUNICH, Germany, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Astronomers using a telescope in Chile to observe one of the biggest and brightest objects in the universe say its glow comes from galaxies hidden within.
Researchers used the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory to study an unusual object known as a Lyman-alpha blob, rare and very luminous structures seen in regions of the early universe where matter is concentrated, a release from observatory headquarters in Munich said Wednesday.
