Whoa, Scientists Found the Universe's Invisible Galaxy

• Scientists found an “extremely remote celestial body in a still young universe.”

• Due to the remoteness of the galaxy, it was hard to find, but the scientists used a technique called gravitational lensing to identify the galaxy’s main properties.

• The galaxy forms stars about 1,000 times the rate of the Milky Way.

Finding new galaxies is a tough task. But a group of researchers from the International School of Advanced Studies (SISSA) say they’ve discovered a new galaxy in a relatively young universe, all thanks to Albert Einstein’s enduring theory of relativity.
“This was a very special celestial body,” Marika Giulietti, who studies astrophysics and cosmology at SISSA, says in a news release. “It is very bright.”
The galaxy’s celestial body was so dark and compact that it was almost invisible, the researchers write in their new study, published in The Astrophysical Journal.
