Astronomers claim galaxy record
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6292024.stm
Astronomers say they may have detected the light from some of the earliest stars to form in the Universe. They have pictures of what appear to be very faint galaxies that shone more than 13 billion years ago, a mere 500 million years after the Big Bang.
The remarkable claim dramatically exceeds the current, broadly accepted record for the most distant detection.

I like it.

I don't have a problem believing there are Galaxies further out in between the gaps of the Ultra Deep Field Hubble image.

It will be interesting to see what the James Webb telescope can detect with a redshift detection ability of 15. :thumbsup:

Then I'll give it a go with the Toucam and see if I can find them :lol:
