Hubble Finds Furthest Galaxy From Earth

The Hubble Telescope has discovered the farthest galaxy ever seen to date. Galaxy GN-z11 existed a long long time ago, just 400 million years after the Big Bang, and it was far far far away. It is the earliest and most distance galaxy that has ever been observed by scientific instruments. What has replaced it and when will no doubt reveal itself in the future as more light-waves are captured through time. What the general state of affairs is at present all across the universe and omnipresently remains outside the bounds of present science, that is forever preoccupied with time and space, both in cosmology and in physics, whether in theory or application. Sputnik reports: In the Astrophysical Journal, astronomers at the University of California, Santa Cruz described how they observed a small, yet bright galaxy at the far end of the universe, which they have called GN-z11. The team noticed the new object whilst analyzing images from the Hubble Space Telescope. They calculated that the light emitted by the galaxy’s stars had to travel for 13.4 billion years before being picked up by the telescope — which means it was already in existence when the universe was just 400 million [...]
