Planet Earth sits in the middle of the vast emptiness of space, according to the human eye. <br /><br />But a new discovery by European astronomers has confirmed that it is not so empty after all. <br /><br />Scientists at the University of Geneva's observatory say they have invented a special camera that can spot galaxies born up to 10 billion years ago.<br /><br />They say that previous searches for galaxies had missed up to 90 per cent of them. <br /><br />Al Jazeera spoke to Dr Francisco Diego, an astronomer from the University of London's observatory, about the new discoveries and how they could possibly revolutionise our understanding of the universe. <br /><br />[March 24, 2010]
