I think they should have called it "Wayout" after the rock band.

GN-z11 is a high-redshift galaxy found in the constellation Ursa Major. GN-z11 is currently the oldest and most distant known galaxy in the observable universe. GN-z11 has a spectroscopic redshift of z = 11.09, which corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 32 billion light-years (9.8 billion parsecs).

Enlighten me please Penny. If the Big Bang was 14.5 billion years ago how can this galaxy be 32.5 billion light years away?

Inflationary Expansion. And the current observations lead some to thing that it is speeding up!

Penny...Penny...Penny...

At least one of the three following must be incorrect:

1. The Big Bang dating is incorrect.
2. Red-shift assumptions are incorrect.
3. God intervened (though Sheldon doesn't believe).
