, 02:25, January 31, 2012→39 billion light years away?
::::::::::::I don't doubt there are stars that far away. I am interested in the people that have ''observed'' them, which Aschlafly has numerous references to. [[User:ScottDG|ScottDG]] [[User talk:ScottDG|Talk]] <b>2 billion lightyears ago...wait, what? </b> 21:12, 30 January 2012 (EST)

:::::::::::::Nobody's observed them. The most distant object anyone has ever observed is the galaxy UDFj-39546284, which - if it still exists, which is unlikely - is 31.7 billion light years away and is now way outside the observable universe. The light from it has travelled 13.2 billion light years to get to us. --[[User:GeorgeLi|GeorgeLi]] 21:22, 30 January 2012 (EST)

::::::::::::::And that's 31.7 billion light years comoving distance, 13.2 billion light years in light travel distance. Meaning, we see it as it was, billions of years ago, and it is WAY farther away by now. [[User:RachelW|RachelW]] 21:25, 30 January 2012 (EST)
