NASA announced that a long-exposure, infrared image, taken with a camera on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), had uncovered the most distant galaxies ever seen. HST's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) had detected galaxies that might be over 12 billion light-years away, depending on which cosmological models scientists used. NASA's Acting Associate Administrator for Space Science, [[Edward J. Weiler], deemed the discovery a major step toward fulfilling one of HST's key objectives: to search for the "faintest and farthest objects in the universe."
