So how did the galaxies transform their shape from flat discs to three-dimensional elliptical galaxies? Our study examined the distribution of dust in more than 100 distant galaxies, which we know ...

The galaxies they observed have redshifts between z = 0.7 and z = 2.5, meaning that the galaxies are seen as they were 6 ...
