Scientific paper

Deep images of the sky reveal a population of faint blue objects that may be protogalaxies at redshifts of more than approximately 1. The faint galaxies are surprisingly weakly clustered. There are several possible explanations of this result: (1) the majority of the faint blue galaxies belong to a new population that is weakly clustered and intrinsically faint at the present epoch; (2) galaxy clustering evolves much more rapidly than expected in simple models of gravitational instability; or (3) the geometry of the universe differs significantly from the Einstein-de Sitter model.
