13 Billion Years Old

How cool is that? Was kinda playing around, looking at some of the Hubble photo’s, and ran across this one:

The scientists are unsure of the exact distance to the galaxy but know it is near the limit of what can be found with current telescopes. It is estimated to be 13 billion light-years away, seen at a time when the universe was just 700 million to 750 million years old.

Yeah, a little dated, released back in Feb 2004. Still kicks ass. 13 billion years ago. Try and rap your mind around that number!
