That takes researchers close to the primordial stage of cosmic evolution, when the first galaxies were coming to life.

Pérez - González explained this will allow scientists to study how gases transformed into stars in the first galaxies, and to better understand the first phases in the formation of supermassive black holes, including how those black holes affect the formation of their home galaxy.
