Galaxies 13.8 Billion Light Years Away
35:24 - 39:25 (04:01)
Scientists have discovered galaxies 13.8 billion light years away which challenges previously established theories as the galaxies shouldn't have formed in such a short amount of time from the Big Bang, but rather people are looking back in time and the universe appears to be 13.8 billion years old from where Earth is.
