1.   But if we look at distant galaxies, there seems to be more or less the same number of them.

2.   High-tech digital cameras are used extensively in astronomy to capture dim light from distant galaxies.

3.   Light given out by distant galaxies has to swim against the tide of expansion to get to us.

4.   Quasars are the highly energetic cores of distant galaxies.

5.   The telescope can detect light emitted by distant galaxies.

6.   Morse stood where he was, listening, and staring up at the sky as if viewing the unsuspected behaviour of some distant galaxy.

7.   And his photographs give a stunning view of stars, nebulae and distant galaxies that is virtually a compendium of art through the ages.

8.   Astronomers said the distant galaxies seemed to be smaller than those from more recent epochs.

9.   At right, the gravity in a cluster of galaxies distorts the images of more distant galaxies and makes them appear as arcs.

10.   Because we are looking back in time, distant galaxies are younger as we see them than nearby ones.
