NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed that some of the Universe's earliest galaxies were brighter than expected.

The finding offers clues to the cause of the Epoch of Reionization, a major cosmic event that transformed the universe from being mostly opaque to the brilliant starscape seen today.
