Hubble Telescope discovers distant galaxies formed more than 13 billion years ago


"Distant galaxies: The Hubble Space Telescope's deepest image of the universe ever taken in near-infrared light. The faintest and reddest objects in the image are galaxies that formed 600 million years after the Big Bang.

Images of some of the most distant galaxies in the universe have been captured by the Hubble Space Telescope using infra-red photography.

A special wide field camera that was installed by astronauts on Hubble in May captured several thousand never-before-seen galaxies.

They are the oldest star clusters that have ever been observed  - with the light from them beginning their journey when the universe was just four per cent of its current age."
