It may be that astronomers will have to rethink how galaxies evolve in the first place.

This involves taking advantage of distant, but cloesr, galaxies that lie between Earth and the quasar.
FORBES: Hubble Telescope Observes Matter Falling Into Black Hole
The universe is pretty transparent to optical light--that's how we can see far away galaxies.
Their strange shapes are different from the spiral and elliptical galaxies we see today.

Our own galaxy, which seems so immense, is just one among 100 billion galaxies.
Other galaxies, including our near-neighbor, the Andromeda, contain black holes hundreds of times more massive.
Its deep vision has also enabled scientists to trace the story of how galaxies have changed through cosmic time.
Finding them in ever-more-distant galaxies was a primary reason for building the Hubble space telescope.
But the black holes seen in Chandra's far-off galaxies are up to 100 times bigger.

The CMB gives us clues as to how stars and galaxies might have evolved from that matter.
These strings vibrate in such a way as to create galaxies and bluebirds, atoms and daffodils .
She was cataloging images of galaxies when she saw something in one image that she couldn't place.
Tides rise and fall, weather patterns change, even planets and galaxies move in accordance with heavenly cycles.
Preliminary results from the team have uncovered five other galaxies which may have similarly large black holes.

They bear on the question of how galaxies form and, indeed, on the fate of the universe.
At least a dozen such dwarf galaxies are thought to have once surrounded our own Milky Way.
FORBES: Astronomers Confirm Milky Way's Most Distant Stellar Stream
In fact, this dish can detect radiation from galaxies that are roughly 5 billion light years away.
Most big galaxies are thought to contain, besides their stars, about ten times as much non-shining material.
In this image taken of a small patch of sky in the constellation of Ursa Major, countless galaxies are recorded.
Osmos reimagines evolution as a beautiful battle between ghostly spheres that could be tiny organisms or massive galaxies.
They are expected to tell us about the dark energy through observations of the shapes of distant galaxies.
That growth influences the evolution of galaxies, so this simple number stands to teach scientists a great deal.
The final ACS image is studded with a wide range of galaxies of various sizes, shapes and colours.

The super-massive class can weigh millions or billions of stellar masses and reside at the centers of galaxies.
The most distorted galaxies, therefore, were those twice as far from Earth as the gravitational lens distorting them.

Only the light from some faint galaxies has been detected beyond this burst - 100-300 million light-years further away.
Like the way the structure of an atom resembles the structure of galaxies.
Raph Koster, designer of Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies, holding rightful court in the sociable games design session.
Light from stars and galaxies moving towards Earth, by contrast, would be blue-shifted.
Estimates such as this may help finally unravel the interplay between black holes and the galaxies that host them.
