Astronomers have recently discovered the brightest galaxy in the early universe known as CR7. The newfound galaxy is also three times brighter than the brightest distant galaxy known up to now, the Himiko, which had been thought to be one of a kind. The recent study, helmed by a team of astronomers from the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences, the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon in Portugal, and Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands, also revealed a clearer explanation about the significance of the Population III stars in forging the stars around us today, the planets that orbit them and life as we know it. read more
