Concept of what a dusty and bright galaxy might look like close up if viewed in infrared
This artists conception shows what a dusty and bright galaxy located billions of light-years away might look like close up if viewed in infrared light. Galaxies like these are so far away and so drenched in dust, they appear invisible to optical telescopes.
The Spitzer Space Telescope uncovered a hidden population of dusty galaxies like these using its heat-seeking infrared eyes. The galaxies are among the brightest in the universe and are located 11 billion light-years away back to a time when the universe was 3 billion years old. The universe is currently believed to be 13.5 billion years old

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the concept of a dusty and bright galaxy as it might appear up close when viewed in infrared light. Located billions of light-years away, these galaxies are so heavily veiled in dust that they remain invisible to optical telescopes. However, thanks to the Spitzer Space Telescope's heat-seeking infrared eyes, a hidden population of such galaxies has been uncovered. Radiating with luminosity, these distant galaxies stand among the brightest entities in our universe. Remarkably, they exist 11 billion light-years away, offering us a glimpse back in time to when the universe was merely 3 billion years old. With its age estimated at 13.5 billion years today, this discovery sheds new light on cosmic evolution. The artist's illustration beautifully captures the essence of this enigmatic phenomenon. The image portrays a mesmerizing scene where vibrant pink hues intertwine with cosmic dust particles against an expansive backdrop of space. Its horizontal composition adds depth and perspective while emphasizing the grandeur of this celestial marvel. As we ponder upon this digitally generated masterpiece by Stocktrek Images, we are reminded once again of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our vast cosmos and our relentless pursuit to unravel its mysteries.
