The light from this galaxy originated when the Universe was only 2.6 billion years old. Typically these distant young objects are too small to be studied in detail with low-frequency radio telescopes, but for the first time with the ILT we can see what their structure is like and study how they interact with their environments as they grow. The large orange circle in the center is the host galaxy as seen in optical light, while the dark point at the centreis radio emission from the galaxy's core, which has launched jets that reach beyond the edge of the optical galaxy.
