Hubble becomes the first telescope ever to spy galaxy 13 billion light years away

Hubble has become the first telescope ever to set the record of spying a galaxy 13 billion light years away, which is the most distant galaxy ever seen. A team from the European Southern Observatory operating the Very Large Telescope array in Chile determined the distance of galaxy UDFy-38135539. The Hubble telescope was able to peer deep into the cosmos with its upgraded infrared camera land image a very deep region of the universe. It’s the result of the follow-up measurements that the team of astronomers determined that they’ve glimpsed the most distant object ever seen. Check out the galaxy 13 billion light years away in the upper left hand corner of the image above.
