They broke the record again and detected a quasar 13.2 billion . This beat the previous record of one that was estimated to be 12.9 billion light years away:
A team of astrophysicists using the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii has successfully measured the farthest galaxy ever recorded and more interestingly, captured its hydrogen emission as seen when the Universe was less than 600 million years old. Additionally, the method in which the galaxy called EGSY8p7 was detected gives important insight into how the very first stars in the Universe lit-up after the Big Bang. The paper will be published shortly in the Astrophysical Journal Letters

Wow, look at all those galaxies 13.2 billion light years away, It’s just very unfortunate that we are the only intelligent species in this entire universe who can enjoy this type of information. 🙂
Space should be our education system, nothing they teach you in public school can help wrap your mind around space. I dont understand how people live like nothing is around us. I $#%&!@*ing love space
