You're just a little off on your fact there (the 11 billion light-years from earth reference). A team of French and Swiss astronomers has found several faint galaxies believed to be the most remote known. Named Abell 1835 IR1916, the newly discovered galaxy is located about 13,230 million light-years away.
Where did you come up with that 11 billion number, anyhow? LOL.
And yes, i do see the irony.
is that good enough???
and by the way Jeff.. 13,230 million is 13billion
