    Researchers at the IAC participate in the discovery of clusters of galaxies in the early universe
    Ivan Oteo, a former student of the University of La Laguna and of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias led the international team which made the discovery. Until now astronomers thought that these phenomena occurred 3,000 million years after the Big Bang, but this new result shows that they were already happening when the Universe was 1,500 million years old.
