9 - Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered a previously unseen population of  seven primitive galaxies that formed more than 13 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 3 percent of its present age. This image reveals a previously unseen population of seven faraway galaxies, which are observed as they appeared in a period 350 million to 600 million years after the big bang. The galaxy census is the most robust sample of galaxies ever found at these early epochs. The colored squares in the main image outline the locations of the galaxies. Enlarged views of each galaxy are shown in the black-and-white images.
