[From article]
Four unknown galaxy clusters, each potentially containing thousands of individual galaxies, have been discovered some 10 billion light years from Earth.
Astronomers used a new way of combining data from the two European Space Agency satellites, Planck and Herschel, to identify more distant galaxy clusters than has previously been possible.
The researchers believe up to 2,000 further clusters could be identified using this technique, helping to build a more detailed timeline of how clusters are formed.

A peek into the early universe: Four galaxy clusters 10 BILLION light years away are the farthest ever found - and there could be 2,000 more
Clusters were found by combining data from Planck and Herschel satellites
Each cluster contains hundreds of thousands of galaxies bound by gravity
They reveal what the universe looked like when it was just three billion years old
Up to now, the most distant clusters found by astronomers date back to when the universe was 4.5 billion years old
