 | | The galaxy, dubbed Abell 1835 IR1916, is 13.23 billion light-years from Earth -- said France's state-funded National Center for Scientific Research, a major European research organization. |
 | | The source is seen magnified by a cluster of galaxies, Abell 1935, acting as a gravitational lens, and the source location is where sources with 9 < z < 11 should be very highly magnified. |
 | | Pello et al observed the Abell cluster, in various bands, using a VLT (8.4m diameter 'scopes?), for 3,000 seconds (V band) to 19,000 seconds (Ks band). |
