The discovery by the Soviet scientists helped Orbital Astronomical Observatory Hubble find a new galaxy, according to RIA Novosti. The galaxy is situated very far away in the constellation of Sagittarius at the distance exceeding 6,5 billion light years from our planet. It is practically indiscernible by means of the Hubble tools.

Applying the Big Bang’s Echo effect discovered the end of 60s by Russian physicists Yakov Zeldovich and Rashid Sunyaev, contemporary scientists managed to prove the existence of the galaxy.

In accordance with contemporary science, the Universe reminds of a huge three-dimensional net. Its threads are clusters of dark substance. At the junctions, there are solid knots of visible substance – separate galaxies and star groupings. The effect of Syunyaev-Zeldovich implies distortion of the cosmic microwave background radiation, so –called the Big Bang’s echo, depending on the impact of the galaxy clusters. The stronger the echo is, the warner the dots are seen through telescopes. At this, the energy of this luminance depends on the quantity of substance in these clusters and the quality of the clusters on the whole.

Despite this effect was discovered almost 60 years ago, astronomers has started to apply this method for searching for galaxies not long ago.
