Thanks to the Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers at ESO's observatory have been able to observe galaxies at 13.5 billion light years. The light of these galaxies has taken nine tenths of the universe age to reach us, so the information collected by the VLT will serve to analyze the youth of the universe. Specifically, it will be very appropriate to investigate how young galaxies form groups.
