The Spitzer Space Telescope has just seen the first light in the universe. This is a really neat story, the first light in the universe has been red-shifted so much that it is in the infra-red spectrum, which is the wavelengths of light that Spitzer Space Telescope looks at. The team that found the first light used the left-over data from other teams, and removed the foreground galaxies from it, leaving the glow of the first stars and galaxies in the universe.
