Our deepest galaxy surveys can reveal objects tens of billions of light years away, but there are more galaxies within the observable Universe we still have yet to reveal between the most distant galaxies and the cosmic microwave background, including the very first stars and galaxies of all.

Os demais problemas passaram a ser valorizados em todo o mundo somente a partir da divulgação de dados populacionais mostrando que as outras doenças não eram somente “privilégio” de gente rica.
