Because the properties of these nearby nurseries are
known, the feat will help astronomers better understand conditions
in far - off star - forming
galaxies — where, ironically enough, Lyman alpha is easier to detect because the expanding
universe redshifts the radiation to longer wavelengths so that sunlight doesn't muck up the view.
No one
knows why, but the result suggests that
galaxies in the early

«
Knowing more about the black holes powering quasars will allow us to
know more about how

in the early
universe.
This is significant, according to the researchers, because many models for what we

universe rely on
galaxies behaving
in a fashion similar to the Milky Way.
Astronomers
know that the first

The halos around quasars — the brightest and the most active objects
in the
universe, they are
