Teenager galaxies found recently by scientists

A Typical Spiral Galaxy NGC 4414. 

Most recently the scientits have looked out at the sky for what hey called teenager galaxies.
It is extremely hard to find them because they do not look more than a tiny spot in the sky. But the scientists have been able to locate them with their big massive telescpoes. A group of international researchers had identified 27 pre-galactic fragments. They are said to be the building blocks of big galaxies in the universe.
Martin Haehnelt, the major scientist in the cambridge university used the European Southern Large Observatory to keep an eye on a part of the universe. This watch out was carried on for more than 92 hours continuously  The cambridge University scientists managed to discover out proto galaxies in the massive universe.
The powerful telescopes helped scientists to follow the light sources.The pocess can also be lightened with a regular camera. As Martin States :
This process was a bit like taking a photograph and keeping the shutter open for a very long time.
The technique used to locate the smaller lumps took the scientists as far as 11 billion years or a light year.
According to Martin, the discovery of proto galaxies was a major milestone in space explorations, but the scientists are not sure yet about the scope of this discovery.
