Hubble telescope sees a galaxy 13.2 billion light years away.
Apparently astronomers have seen what they claim to be the oldest galaxy ever seen. This galaxy is said to be 150 millions years older than any seen previously by mankind. This galaxy has been sighted by the Hubble telescope and is said to be 13.2 billion light years away. The image seems to be very grainy at best and red in color and they say it would take many of these to make up a galaxy the size of the Milky Way.
This is pretty cool. The technology that NASA has is amazing and to think that it is possible to see something 13.2 billion light years away is just absolutely amazing to me. It is still hard for me to imagine how this can be done by any piece of man made equipment. I am not sure how these things are done, but even further more intrigued by the fact that after all the years that mankind has existed on this planet that we are still finding amazing discoveries that God has created for us to explore.

13.2 billion light years is unfathomable! That's amazing. I wonder if I'll live to see the day when we find out whether or not there's life in that galaxy!
