News release: Lenses galore - Hubble finds large sample of very distant 
galaxies

24-Jul-2008 17:00: New Hubble Space Telescope observations of six 
spectacular galaxy clusters acting as gravitational lenses have given 
significant insights into the early stages of the Universe. Scientists 
have found the largest sample of very distant galaxies seen to date: ten 
promising candidates thought to lie at a distance of 13 billion 
light-years (~redshift 7.5).
