Yes. If the photons have travelled 10 billion years, that means you are seeing the galaxy as it was 10 billion years ago.

How much big is the universe?

It is not currently known how big the Universe is. The observable Universe has a radius of about 47 billion light-years; that is, the most distant objects that can be observed in theory are at that distance. The actual Universe is probably quite a bit bigger.

Astronomers have found a mind-bogglingly large structure so big it takes light 10 billion years to traverse in a distant part of the universe.


Why do scientist study distant galaxies to learn about early galaxy's?

If you look at a distant galaxy, the light from the galaxy has travelled for perhaps a hundred million years, a billion years, or up to an age close to the age of the Universe (13 billion years or so), depending on the galaxy's distance. Thus, the light you see shows you how the Universe was billions of years ago.


How far in light years is the most distant know source in the universe?

The most distant known source in the universe is a galaxy called GN-z11, which is approximately 13.4 billion light-years away from Earth. This means that the light we see from GN-z11 today started its journey towards us over 13 billion years ago.


Scientist believe that the more distant galaxies are formed when?

Far or near, all galaxies were thought to be formed in the first half billion years of the formation of the universe ... that is, about 13 billion years ago. Note that we're seeing the distant ones in a younger stage of development.

How far is the most distant object in universe?

Astronomers have spotted the most distant object yet confirmed in the universe - a self-destructing star that exploded 13.1 billion light years from Earth. It detonated just 630 million years after the big bang, around the end of the cosmic "dark ages", when the first stars and galaxies were lighting up space.


Does distant stars' some 13.8 billion light years away appear in all dierections from earth?

No. At that distance, the Universe is essentially "flat". If there is a curvature - this is not confirmed - it is at a much larger scale, at distances which we can not observe.
