"Hidden galaxies" discovery would upend our current understanding of the universe


A newly analyzed, deep-field universe photo, produced by stacking multiple infrared observations, points to elusive collections of dust-filled star systems. This intriguing view of ancient “hidden galaxies” could change how we understand the cosmos.

Researchers used cutting-edge imaging to map a far-infrared landscape brimming with nearly 2,000 galaxies.

Preliminary hints suggest there may be galaxies lurking just out of sight, influencing how energy is emitted across space.

Early calculations indicate that their collective light might explain the missing piece in the energy puzzle at long infrared wavelengths, an aspect that has puzzled astronomers for years.
