no, i think this is going to get old fast.

The new image, called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), includes objects that until now have been too faint to be seen and includes ancient galaxies that emerged just 700,000 million years after the Big Bang from what astronomers call the "Dark Ages" of the universe.

:Q

I'm gonna take a guess and say that was a typo.

I don't know if it is, actually, since later in the same article they referr to a galaxy that appeared 300,000 million years after the Big Bang.

Lol I didn't even read that far before I emailed them... I sent them a message notifying them that 700,000 million years is 700 billion years, and the universe is nowhere near that old yet.

Makes you wonder if they could make a telescope to see that extra 700,000 million light years...

I see it now. I just read it as 700 million years.
