re: Do you accept the notion of the Big Bang as the origin of our universe?

Right but what I’m saying is that Hubble may have been able to see it because the universe became clear but that doesn’t mean GN-z11 was one of the first stars. It is probably by that point one of the second generation (first gen burned huge, bright, and fast) Those very first ones are I’m sure all too far into the infrared to currently be viewed.

GN-z11 is actually a galaxy and the Astronomy article to which I linked earlier in the thread says
I have watched the video you linked to in the past and I remember that even it said that the Hubble had looked back to a galaxy existing some 500 million years after the BB.

The remote galaxy GN-z11, shown in the inset, existed only 400 million years after the Big Bang when the universe was only 3 percent of its current age. It belongs to the first generation of galaxies in the universe, and its discovery provides new insights into the early universe. This is the first time that the distance of an object so far away has been measured from its spectrum, which makes the measurement extremely reliable.
