Leiden observatory researcher Aayush Saxena and his colleagues from various countries have discovered a galaxy 12 billion light-years from the earth with data derived from a sky survey done by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) seven years ago.

An array of 30 fully steerable parabolic radio telescopes of 45m diameter, GMRT is located in Khodad, about 60km from here, and operated by the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.
