Nasa has announced on January 5th, 2010, that the Hubble telescope can now see 13.2 billion years, back in time, farther than ever before in space and time, only a mere 6 to 8 million years after the big bang. Nasa is now getting images of primordial galaxies billions of years old. This will show astronomers for the first time how galaxies grew from a small cluster of stars, to the big galaxies you see today. Because light has a speed limit, the farther a object is, the farther back in time we can see, this is how the Hubble can literally see 'Back in time'.
