Hubble finds most distant galaxy

Astronomers have pushed NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to its limits by finding what they believe is the most distant, ancient object ever seen in the universe.

Hubble finds most distant galaxy- It’s as bad as NASA until our next press release. Not to give you any grief for posting. I used to love the whole ‘SPACE’ thing. It’s just that now with all the inaccuracies in the rest of their photos I can’t help but wonder which airbrush artist work for them.
I’d like to see some of the Hubble picture in the NASA caught in the BLACK post to see what’s hidden in them as well.

Sorry if I seem a bit bitchy today, I lose my stress squeeze toy. (when I kicked it into the woods) :lol:

Still 13.75 billion years?

Well I am being honest, I did not get to watch video, but the age of the universe is gauged by the distance of the last, furthest galaxy. So therefore if this one is even further, wouldn't they now have to recalculate the age of the universe.

Well, I thought they calculated the age of the universe via multiple measurements (like the expansion of the universe measurements, cooling down of it), not just distance of last, furthest galaxy...Always interesting this :cheers:

To be honest in this day and age with the technology we have finding this galaxy is about as exciting as watching my dog shit. No offence to your post but i think we should be seeing a lot further and finding better things in our universe. Or they should at least be decent enough not to treat us like idiots and show us what they really find.
