<p>University of Texas' Ryan Endsley headed the investigation into galaxies which existed 500 to 850 million years after the big bang occurred.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"For hundreds of millions of years after the big bang, the universe was filled with a gaseous fog that made it opaque to energetic light. By one billion years after the big bang, the fog had cleared and the universe became transparent, a process known as reionisation.

&nbsp;<br />
The researchers found evidence of young galaxies going through rapid star formation interspersed with short periods where fewer stars formed.&nbsp;</p>

NASA's James Webb captures more than 45,000 galaxies in one frame as it traces the birth of the universe

Electric car maker Tesla said today it has won agreement from solar panel installer SolarCity to acquire the solar company for $2.6 billion, confirming a deal that has been criticised on Wall Street.<br />

Tesla announced the bid in late June, but it drew jeers on Wall Street, in part because of skepticism over the motives of Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, who is also chairman of SolarCity, as well as a major shareholder.<br />
<br />
Some analysts also questioned whether the deal would divert Tesla&#39;s attention from an ambitious plan to significantly expand electric-car production in the next few years.<br />
<br />
But Tesla said the buyout would enable it to achieve lower hardware costs and boost manufacturing efficiency, creating the &quot;world&#39;s only vertically integrated sustainable energy company.&nbsp;Solar and storage are at their best when they&#39;re combined,&quot; Tesla said.<br />
<br />
The deal is a major part of Musk&#39;s master plan &quot;part deux&quot; that calls for the company to offer consumers a single source of hardware to power a low-carbon lifestyle.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Under the all-stock deal, SolarCity shareholders will receive 0.110 Tesla common shares.<br />

The electric car maker announced the bid in late June, but it drew jeers on Wall Street

Electric car maker Tesla said today it has won agreement from solar panel installer SolarCity to acquire the solar company for $2.6 billion, confirming a deal that has been criticised on Wall Street. Tesla announced the bid in late June, but it drew jeers on Wall Street, in part because of skepticism over the motives of Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, who is also chairman of SolarCity, as well as a major shareholder. Some analysts also questioned whether the deal would divert Tesla's attention from an ambitious plan to significantly expand electric-car production in the next few years. But Tesla said the buyout would enable it to achieve lower hardware costs and boost manufacturing efficiency, creating the "world's only vertically integrated sustainable energy company. Solar and storage are at their best when they're combined," Tesla said. The deal is a major part of Musk's master plan "part deux" that calls for the company to offer consumers a single source of hardware to power a low-carbon lifestyle. Under the all-stock deal, SolarCity shareholders will receive 0.110 Tesla common shares. The agreement allows SolarCity to solicit alternative proposals for 45 days. SolarCity shares fell 5.5 per cent to $25.23 in pre-market trade, while Tesla rose 0.2 per cent to $235.25. (AFP, Reuters)
