About 300,000 years after the big bang, the universe was like a smoke-filled chamber from which light could not escape. By the time the universe was a billion years old, the smoke—actually a gas of light-trapping hydrogen—had cleared almost entirely, allowing stars and galaxies to become visible.
That article is from 2010. This illustrates the speed with which knowledge is being gained about the Universe. The most distant galaxy spotted by Hubble last year is seen only 400 million years after the BB. Amazing times.

I dont think it’s saying Hubble has actually seen them which I’m fairly certain it hasn’t, but rather that’s when the universe has become see-through making it possible to see what’s out there. Watch the Cosmic Dawn documentary I linked to above it’s about this very early stage of the universe, good stuff.
But yeah the speed at which our understanding of this stuff moves the info is probably dated. Just think 100 years ago we didn’t even realize there was a rest of the universe!
