"Right now, we can see to almost 13 billion years [back], but our best models tell us the age of the universe is almost 14 billion years, so it's this whole epoch when galaxies are actually first starting to form that we can't really see very well," said Elizabeth Barton, an assistant professor of astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, and a member of the Science Advisory Committee for the Thirty Meter Telescope."

Don't all current telescopes show the universe after the big bang?

Read the quote above and infer the answer to your question.

Your topic title says, "Telescope to show universe after big bang" which, I assume is what Guttenberg was getting at. Since you use the word "after". Since the big-bang has happened already all telescopes now would be seeing the universe AFTER the big bang.

Perhaps "immediately after" would be more specific?

Yeah, unfortunate thread title, that's why the CNN article says "soon after the Big Bang".

Finally science takes the first step in discovering the origins of Galactus's eating disorder.

Awful joke aside, this is fuckin awesome.
