Abstrakt: Reports on the discovery of faint blue sub-galactic clumps at a redshift of 2.39 and their implications for galaxy formation. The clumps being probable star-forming spheroids smaller than the bulge of a spiral galaxy, part of a reservoir from which today's luminous galaxies were formed through repeated mergers; The elusive explanation for the formation of luminous and elliptical galaxies; Theories of galaxy formation; The assembly of giant galaxies.
