New Hubble at Work Seeing 78-Trillion Miles

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made the 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. No galaxies have been seen before at such early times. The galaxies are an estimated 78 trillion miles (music vid) distant from Earth! The galaxies are about 13 billion light years away. Each light year is about 6 trillion miles. The Wide Field Camera-3 captured the unique images. More from the BBC, Scientific American, The Times On-Line, and AP.
