Esta concepção artística em vídeo mostra CR7, uma galáxia muito distante que foi descoberta com o auxílio do Very Large Telescope do ESO. É de longe a galáxia mais brilhante encontrada até hoje no Universo primordial e existem evidências fortes de que este objeto contém estrelas da primeira geração. Estas estrelas massivas e brilhantes, puramente teóricas até agora, foram as criadoras dos primeiros elementos pesados na história — os elementos necessários à formação das estrelas que nos rodeiam atualmente, os planetas que as orbitam e a vida tal como a conhecemos. A galáxia recentemente descoberta é três vezes mais brilhante do que a galáxia distante mais brilhante que era conhecida até agora.

Artist’s impression of CR7: the brightest galaxy in the early Universe
This artist’s impression video shows CR7 a very distant galaxy discovered using ESO’s Very Large Telescope. It is by far the brightest galaxy yet found in the early Universe and there is strong evidence that examples of the first generation of stars lurk within it. These massive, brilliant, and previously purely theoretical objects were the creators of the first heavy elements in history — the elements necessary to forge the stars around us today, the planets that orbit them, and life as we know it. This newly found galaxy is three times brighter than the brightest distant galaxy known up to now.
