       <p>12-Feb-2008: Panning on the galaxy cluster Abell 1689 and zooming on galaxy distance record contender A1689-zD1.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with a boost from a natural zoom lens, has found the strongest evidence so far for a galaxy with a redshift significantly above 7. It is likely to be one of the youngest and brightest galaxies ever seen right after the cosmic dark ages, just 700 million years after the beginning of our Universe (redshift 7.6).
