The galaxy had a redshift of 7.6, meaning its light came from when the universe was only about 700 million years old.

Only 7.6?

Pity, we already have a galaxy with a confirmed redshift of 11.9, with two others objects (galaxy and GRB) over 8. If it was over 8 then I’d take notice.

OK, that’s new.
