NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Telescopes act as time portals, allowing us to see how the universe used to be. By observing distant objects, we can investigate the early universe. JKCS041 is the farthest galaxy cluster yet measured, with a redshift of 1.9. This record-breaking observation by the UKIRT and Spitzer telescopes allows us to study when and how these massive galaxy conglomerations formed.
