"It took researchers nearly eight years to find this star and although it doesn’t look like much here, they are very excited, because it’s believed to be the first star from a galaxy found near Sagittarius A — a supermassive black hole in the Milky Way.
Researchers think it might help confirm extra-terrestrial life.
Also on Mauna Kea, exists a laser that helps scientists find the far away galaxies.
It reaches 60 miles in the atmosphere before reflecting back to earth and the strength of light tells scientist how much light pollution they need to account for in their measurements."
