A chance to look at the birth of the universe 3.5 billion years ago. What was there before Brahma's thousand yugas and farther back in time to creation of the universe. 

How are such images taken by the Webb telescope? What is a light year and what does it mean to say that the images shown here are 13 billion light years away.

Hint: A light year is how long it takes for light to reach us from the vaccuum of space far out in the skies. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. In one year it has travelled 6 trillion miles through the vacuum of space. For these most distant objects detected by the Webb telescope, the particles of light have traveled some 13 billion light years, traveling across space for 13 billion years. It tells what the distant objects were like 13 billion years ago. 

The light of a thousand suns mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita is not just a metaphor. When on sees the immensity of space everything down here on earth looks insignificant before the Creator.
