Hubble breaks cosmic distance record
March 21, 2016 at 11:46 pm
This is a couple weeks old, but I find it amazing.

Galaxy GN-z11 was seen as it appeared 400 million years after the big bang.

“We’ve taken a major step back in time, beyond what we’d ever expected to be able to do with Hubble. We managed to look back in time to measure the distance to a galaxy when the Universe was only three percent of its current age,” says Pascal Oesch of Yale University and lead author of the paper.

If hubble can see this far back, I can't wait to see what the new James Webb space telescope will reveal.
