According to NASA, earthlike planets covered with deep oceans that could harbor life may be found in as many as a third of solar systems discovered outside of our own. Astronomers analyzing two of the deepest views of the cosmos made with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered a gold mine of galaxies, more than 500 that existed less than a billion years after the Big Bang. These galaxies thrived when the cosmos was less than 7% of its present age of 13.7 billion years. This sample represents the most comprehensive compilation of galaxies in the early universe.
