Ya, lots of fun philosophy in Hubble pics. But I'll stick to something simple that's been bothering me:

How can something appear 13 billion light years away, if the universe is only 15 billion years old? If it and us are on opposite sides of the center of the big bang, wouldn't we both have to be travelling nearly half the speed of light?
