Galaxy discovered 13.1 billion light years away

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Psalms 8:3-4

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Psalms 19:1

13.1 billion light years is approximately 13.1 billion multiplied by 6 trillion miles. As reported in the Daily Mail on October 20, 2010:

Astronomers have discovered the oldest and most distant object in the universe - a galaxy so far away that its light has taken 13.1 billion years to reach the Earth.

The galaxy, which was spotted by Europe's Very Large Telescope in Chile, is the most remote cluster of stars, gas and dust ever measured...

...The galaxy, named UDFy -38135539, was spotted by the Hubble space telescope last year. Its age has now been confirmed by the European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere's Very Large Telescope.

This image taken by the Hubble telescope shows the galaxy, named UDFy-38135539. It is the faint white dot within the red circle to the left of the picture. Light from the galaxy that reaches Earth today was emitted when the cosmos was only 600 million years old. It has taken 13.1 billion years, travelling at 186,000 miles per second, for this smudge of infant light to arrive. (Photo credit: Agence France-Presse/Getty Images)
