Hubble photographs capture universe as toddler.
Byline: Robert S. Boyd
BALTIMORE _ The Hubble Space Telescope has produced a vivid portrait of the early days of the universe, when baby galaxies were forming and stars were just beginning to shine.
These little galaxies _ one-tenth the size of our Milky Way or smaller _ were the "building blocks of today's universe," said Mario Livio, an astronomer at the Space Science Telescope Institute in Baltimore, which operates the Hubble.
If the universe were a person, the pictures would be like "looking at a 2- to 3-year-old child," said Garth Illingworth, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
The objects shown in the latest images date from 700 million to 900 million years after the Big Bang, the theoretical birth of the universe. When astronomers look out in space, they are also looking back in time, since it ...
