Boston Globe reporter Maria Lovato writes that MIT researchers used a large galaxy cluster to see the X-rays emitted by a galaxy 9.4 billion light-years away. “Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory,” writes Lovato, “the astronomers studied the Phoenix galaxy cluster 5.7 billion light-years away and were able to see the young galaxy hidden billions of light-years behind it.”
