The observations show for the first time that this giant "Lyman-alpha blob" -- one of the largest single objects known -- must be powered by galaxies embedded within it. The results appear in the 18 August issue of the journal Nature. [link to www.spaceref.com] Viewed through the VLT. Love that... Do they have an VVLT? |
