TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to discover an 11-billion-year-old galaxy by observing the light it absorbs rather than emits. By analyzing the absorption patterns of light from reddened quasars, the team identified an absorbing galaxy that is likely a more mature galaxy similar to the Milky Way. The galaxy is believed to be gravitationally bound to a bright counterpart and may have formed a galactic group. Further research will be conducted to search for other members of this group and to observe the absorbing galaxy emitting its own light.
