Abstract: An instrument on board the Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting high above the Earth's atmosphere, has discovered the most distant galaxy ever recorded, at a redshift of 6.68. The observation of this galaxy at a time when the Universe was only 5% of its present age may help improve existing theories of galaxy formation.
