Meet Tayna, the Faintest Ancient Galaxy Ever Found

To peer into the distant universe is also to peer back in time. Researchers are seeing the tiny galaxy, which they nicknamed Tayna, as it existed 13.8 billion years ago. and the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes were able to image it in the earliest stages of its evolution. The early universe was likely populated by many such newborn galaxies, NASA officials said, but few have been observed before now because of their extreme faintness.

> as it existed 13.8 billion years ago

The universe isn’t that old, the CMB is 13.73 billion years old. They mean 13.4 billion years ago. That’s exceedingly old. What’s the redshift?

I don’t see Tanya on the wikipedia List of most distant astronomical objects
Check name, MACS J0416.1-2403, nope, not there yet.

Found the official press release. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2015/45/full/

> Dec. 3 issue of The Astrophysical Journal

No such issue. Dec 1 or Dec 10? Didn’t find it in either. Not in ArXiv.
