about

7. GN-z11: At the very upper limit of what it is possible to observe, where to peer into the distance is to stare into the distant past, there is a galaxy at the edge of the universe, GN-z11. We see it from Earth as it existed 13.4 billion years ago, just 400 million years after the Big Bang; by comparison our Earth formed a mere 4.5 billion years ago, with the first land animals - our ancestors - appearing around 400 million years ago. The distance to GN-z11 is, however, far more than 13.4 billion light years; taking into account redshift, the distance to GN-z11 is in the order of 10^26m, and is therefore effectively at the edge of the observable universe. GN-z11, a vast mass of stars, millions upon millions of worlds, may today no longer exist: we observe it only in its distant past.
