The name of this galaxy is based on a Redshift (z) measurement of nearly 7 (actually, z = 6.604). [ 5 ] Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7 is reported to be the brightest of distant galaxies (z > 6) and to contain some of the earliest first stars ( first generation ; Population III ) that produced the chemical elements needed for the later formation of ...
A galaxy is a system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, dark matter, bound together by gravity. The word is derived from the Greek galaxias, literally 'milky', a reference to the Milky Way galaxy that contains the Solar System.

Blue Nugget (also called BN) galaxies are a type of distant galaxy that only existed in the early universe. Blue nugget galaxies are small but high mass galaxies undergoing mass bursts of star formation, making many large, bright blue stars. As their stellar population evolves and ages, blue nugget galaxies transition into red nugget galaxies. [1]

RX J1131-1231's elliptical galaxy RX J1131-1231 is the name of the complex, quasar, host galaxy and lensing galaxy, together. The quasar's host galaxy is also lensed into a Chwolson ring about the lensing galaxy. The four images of the quasar are embedded in the ring image. Cloverleaf: 4 [3]
PHL 293B, also known as Kinman's dwarf, is a low-metallicity blue compact dwarf galaxy about 22.6 Mpc from the Earth in the constellation Aquarius. [2]It had a very likely associated, notable, blue-light, long-lived star with constant outbursts or a large supernova observed to have faded and which then disappeared.
