Astronomers have discovered a luminous galaxy caught in the act of reionizing its surrounding gas only 800 million years after the Big Bang. The research, led by Romain Meyer, Ph.D. student at UCL in London, UK, has been presented today at the virtual annual meeting of the European Astronomical Society (EAS).
