A later study in 2012 found a cluster of galaxies beginning to form 600 million years after the Big Bang. Another study in 2012 called the Extreme Deep Field honed in on the center of the HUDF and detected galaxies forming just 450 million years after the Big Bang.
When did we discover another galaxy?
The Andromeda nebula was really the Andromeda galaxy. This discovery implied that the other, even fainter, spirals were probably also galaxies even farther away. Hubble published his work in 1929 and changed forever our view of the universe. Astronomers no longer thought our galaxy was the entire universe.
