a team of 1(天文学家) including ivelina momcheva of the carnegie 2 has discovered the most distant cluster of 3 ever found. in a surprising twist, the young cluster born just 2.8 billion years after the big bang appears 4 similar to the much older present-day 5 clusters. "we were looking for clusters of galaxies when the universe was still very young," says carnegie's momcheva, who did the spectroscopic analysis(光谱分析) which led to the discovery of the cluster. "one might think that the clusters we find would look young as well. however in this cluster we found a number of surprisingly ancient-looking galaxies. this cluster resembles modern-day clusters, which are nearly 10 billion years older."

"it is like we dug an archeological(考古学的) site in rome and found pieces of modern rome in amongst the ruins," adds lead author casey papovich of texas a&m university.

clg j02182-05102, as the cluster is called, contains approximately(大约,近似) 60 galaxies, including several enormous red galaxies at its center holding 10 times as many stars as the 6 way(银河) . such galaxies were thought to be rare in the universe at this early stage. similar galaxy clusters today have had billions of more years to develop and grow.

the cluster was first detected using nasa's spitzer space telescope, which is sensitive to the 7 light(红外光) emitted by the galaxies. the researchers observed the high 8 of galaxies within clg j02182-05102, but could not determine from the spitzer data whether its galaxies are indeed gravitationally bound, as is the case with true galaxy clusters. for these measurements, they used an advanced spectrograph(光谱仪) on the carnegie institution's magellan/baade 6.5 meter telescope at the las campanas 9 in chile. 10 the faint light from seven galaxies near the center the cluster, they found that the galaxies had an average redshift of 1.62. "this means that we are seeing it the way it looked 9.6 billion years ago," says momcheva. "since then it has moved away from us as the universe has expanded. today the distance to the cluster is 15 billion light years."

galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe, and studying the new discovery will help researchers understand how galaxies evolve and form clusters. clg j02182-05102's large red galaxies are unexpected because most galaxies at that time were still rapidly forming stars, and, as a result, appear smaller and their emitted light bluer.

for the galaxies in clg j02182-05102 to have become chock full(塞满了的) of old, red stars so quickly compared to their contemporaries(同辈,同龄人) , these galaxies must have "lived fast and died young," papovich said.

"we are witnessing the youth of truly massive cluster of galaxies," says momcheva. "clg j02182-05102 will continue growing, 11 more galaxies and slowly aging. by the present day it has probably grown to be a large 12 of a cluster like our neighbor, the 13 cluster."
