But he added that the European research was "not as secure as the measurements made with the Hubble."Freudian slip, perhaps? ;)

Most Distant Galaxy in Universe Detected Wow! Really? Now all we have to do is peek to the other side of that galaxy, and we'll get to see what's at the end of the universe. I guess there's nothing left in space to explore, then.

OK, somebody help me understand this. If this galaxy is 13.23 billion light-years from Earth and everything started with the big bang, which means everything started in the same place. Then if this galaxy went the opposite direction from the milkyway, why does it only look 2 billion years old and not 26.46 billion years old. How did we get way over here and still see this far galaxy as it was 13.23 billion years ago. Any reasonable explanation will be appreciated.

believed to have started with the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years agoWhat if they find a galaxy 13.8 billion light years away?

Is it farther away than Dennis Kucinich's chance to win the nomination?

"If they are right, they found the earliest object," Ellis said. OK this "IF" brings on my comment....
So someone spots this galaxy and because they think the "Big Bang" happened around the same time, they think they have seen the farthest place away from us.
So what happens down the road when someone spots another galaxy beyond that? How do they date that galaxy if it's beyond the "Big Bang" time estimation?
Why not start the story out with, This is all just guess-work folks, but it's our best guess? Just my little comment/question.

FWIW, this classic Czech science fiction film is playing at the Museum of Modern Art later this month.

The galaxy ...is at least 10 times smaller than our own galaxy, the Milky Way, ... Are they sure? 'Cause you know sometimes things just look really really small when they are way far away. ;)
