      The furthest we’ve seen is about 13.2 billion light years away, which is pretty far compared to the age of the universe (13.8 billion years)!
      By combining 10 years worth of Hubble Space Telescope images, astronomers were able to get this super image which contains some of the oldest galaxies ever observed.
