This galaxy, called UDFy-38135539, is 13.12 billion light-years from Earth. Because of the time it takes for light from such a distant galaxy to reach Earth, experts believe the light they observed was emitted when the universe was just 600 million years old. Prior to this finding, the most distant confirmed galaxy was one 12.93 billion light-years from Earth and the most distant observed object of any kind was a gamma-ray burst that originated 13.09 billion light-years away

Lizards are cold-blooded creatures, meaning their internal body temperatures are regulated by the temperature of their environment. Because temperatures today are so high, lizards are increasingly retreating to the shade when they would normally be basking or hunting for food. As a result, they do not have the energy necessary to support a clutch of eggs or embryos and are not reproducing as they once did. Massive extinctions are now being seen in many areas of the world, including Mexico, the Amazon Basin, and equatorial Africa.

It consists of a cylindrical rod around which a strip of paper or leather is wound. Because the message is written upon the wound strip, it appears as an illegible jumble of letters to anyone who does not bear a scytale of the appropriate diameter.
