Hubble telescope finds furthest galaxy ever seen

NASA astronomers say they have spotted a galaxy using the Hubble telescope that may be the furthest object ever seen from Earth.

In this image, astronomers use the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and a cosmic zoom lens to uncover the farthest known galaxy in the Universe. The newly discovered galaxy, named MACS0647-JD, is very young and only a tiny fraction of the size of our Milky Way. The object is observed 420 million years after the Big Bang, when the Universe was 3 percent of its present age of 13.7 billion years.
