•  Info Artist’s impression which shows two galaxies in the early Universe. The brilliant explosion on the left is a gamma-ray burst. As the light from the burst passes through the two galaxies some colours are absorbed by the cool gas in the galaxies, leaving characteristic dark lines in the spectrum. The study of these spectra allowed astronomers to discover that these two galaxies are remarkably rich in heavier chemical elements. More info and the name of the two galaxies at this article in ESO website.
