Most distant known object in the universe

Very long time ago a massive start exploded, and we saw it through the swift satellite on April 23, 2009.

This spectacular GRB was seen 13 billion years away, with a redshift of 8.2, which is the highest red shift ever measured.

This object is now the most distant known objext and the burst occured when the Universe was only 630 million years old. This object or event is called GRB 090423.
