NASA has just confirmed that they have spotted the furthest galaxy away from us. This galaxy is about 13.2 billion lightyears away. Hubble first spotted the galaxy back in 2009 but NASA has confirmed that it is the oldest known galaxy in existence. The collection of stars is over 150 million years older than previous galaxies recorded.
