13.2 billion light-years away resides what could very well be the most distant object ever seen in the universe. Caught in Hubble's 2009 Ultra Deep Field snapshot, the infant galaxy appears red due to the stretching of photons caused by the universe's continuing expansion. The galaxy pictured was formed just 480 million years after the Big Bang, and is 100 times smaller than our own Milky Way.
