Most of the sky previously observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers 72 new visible galaxies they discovered.
Based on this discovery, the researchers said that the new study will not only discover 72 planets, but will also help examine the motions of stars, the formation of the universe, and the properties of other ancient galaxies.

This new discovery was made by the MUSE instrument on the European Southern Observatory Telescope in Chile. Astronomers discovered the newly discovered galaxies while measuring the distances and properties of 1,600 galaxies captured by the Hubble Space Telescope during the Ultra Deep Field survey.
Although the photos were taken by Hubble in 2004, this kind of high-performance image was obtained thanks to the renewed programming system (ACS) during the space observation telescope visit carried out by NASA astronauts 2 years later.
