So to study stellar origins, scientists use telescopes that allow them to see galaxies that are so far away, they're essentially looking back in time. Previous observations had focused on the star-forming powers of larger galaxies. But in this latest study, researchers used data collected by a powerful camera aboard the Hubble Space Telescope.
