Seeing into the past, literally:

Based on the most recent measurements, the galaxy was determined to lie at a redshift of 14.18, which means we see it as it appeared 300 million years after the Big Bang — when the universe was about 2% of its current age.

Nothing specific here, just some interesting musings on the early universe and our struggle to fit it into our model of the world.

One email a month: the new essays, lectures, and marginalia.
