摘要
Analysis of the deepest available images of the sky, obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope, reveals a large number of candidate high-redshift: galaxies. A catalogue of 1,683 objects is presented, with estimated redshifts ranging from z = 0 to z > 6. The high-redshift objects are interpreted as regions of star formation associated with the progenitors of present-day normal galaxies, at epochs that may reach back 95% of the time to the Big Bang.
