A first study was done back in 2005 by astronomers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center that turned up infrared light coming from incredibly bright, but incredibly distant objects. Astronomers theorized that these were either the first stars, or extremely heavy black holes blasting out energy.
A second study has refocused the powerful Spitzer Space Telescope at the region. By using a special technique to block out all the bright intervening galaxies and stars, astronomers were able to piece together a view of these distant objects. Although they would have originally been bright in visible light, the expanding Universe has stretched their light out so that it’s now only visible in infrared.
