Cosmos Redshift 7

Have you ever looked at the stars at night and wondered how far away they are? Scientists use something called "redshift" to figure out how far away things in space are.

Now, let's talk about something called "Cosmos Redshift 7." This is the name of a really far away galaxy that was discovered by scientists. In fact, it's one of the farthest galaxies we've ever found!

Scientists were able to figure out how far Cosmos Redshift 7 is from us by looking at its redshift. When light travels through space, it gets stretched out (kind of like how a rubber band stretches). This is called "redshift." The amount of redshift tells scientists how far away something is – the bigger the redshift, the farther away it is.

Cosmos Redshift 7 has a really big redshift, which means it's really far away – about 13.1 billion light years away! To put that in perspective, if you could travel at the speed of light (which is really, really fast!), it would still take you 13.1 billion years to get there.

So, even though Cosmos Redshift 7 is really, really far away, scientists have still been able to study it and learn more about the universe. It's pretty amazing what we can learn from looking up at the stars!
