Good bye dark age
January 9, 2003 · ESA/Hubble · Galaxies
Researchers using the NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope believe they are seeing the conclusion of the cosmic epoch where the young galaxies started to shine in significant numbers. This marks a time when the so-called 'Dark Ages' of the universe was completed, about 13 billion years ago (based on an estimate of 14 billion years for the current age of the universe).
