Astronomers Discover Two Previously Invisible Galaxies Hidden by Cosmic Dust

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute have recently spotted two formerly undetectable galaxies 29 billion light-years away from Earth. The two galaxies have been undetectable to the optical lens of the Hubble Space Telescope, concealed behind a dense layer of cosmic dust that encompasses them.
