Recent observations from large, ground - based telescopes have enabled astronomers to study galaxies, quasars (Note 4), and GRBs during an era one billion years after the birth of the Universe.

This is useful for finding galaxies because while large clouds of dust will scatter or absorb visible light, they transform light emitted from the galaxies into infrared light.

It said that everything that happens in the cosmos at large — be it an apple falling from a tree on Earth or the distant whirling of a cluster of galaxies — happens because stuff follows invisible contortions in space and time that are caused by the presence of other stuff.
