Distance measurements
The "distance" of a far away galaxy depends on how it is measured. With a redshift of 1,[2] light from this galaxy is estimated to have taken around 7.7 billion years to reach Earth.[3] However, since this galaxy is receding from Earth, the present comoving distance is estimated to be around 10 billion light-years away.[3] In context, Hubble is observing this galaxy as it appeared when the Universe was around 5.9 billion years old.[3]
