The new images, to be presented at an upcoming meeting of the American Physical Society, date back to when the universe was only 380,000 years old. The cosmos is now a more mature 13.8 billion years old,

If our 13.8-billion-year-old cosmos could be considered middle-aged, researchers note these new images captured around its 380,000th birthday represent a snapshot of the universe as a newborn.
