A new analysis of galaxy colors, however, indicates that the farthest
objects in the deep fields must be extremely intense, unexpectedly bright knots of blue - white, hot newborn stars embedded in primordial proto - galaxies that are too
faint to be
seen even by Hubble's far vision — as if only the lights on a distant Christmas tree were
seen and so one must infer the presence of the whole tree (more discussion at: STScI; and Lanzetta et al, 2002).
