We Found One of the Oldest Galaxies Ever!

The video discusses the discovery of one of the oldest galaxies, G 0983808, which formed 12.8 billion years ago. It highlights the role of the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) in observing distant galaxies and explains the concept of redshift and gravitational lensing. Additionally, it introduces a new method for finding habitable exoplanets by detecting atmospheric beacons created by stellar storms, which could significantly reduce observation time. This method could help identify planets with Earth-like atmospheres using smaller telescopes.

What is the significance of the galaxy named G 0983808 in the context of the universe's timeline?

How does gravitational lensing assist astronomers in observing distant galaxies?

How does the age of the galaxy G 0983808 support the theory of galaxy formation after the Big Bang?

Describe the new method developed by astronomers for finding habitable exoplanets.
