From October 24, 2010.
On Oct 19, 2010, astronomers announced the measurement of a redshift of 8.6 for one of the galaxies in the Ultra Deep Field. That corresponds to a galaxy seen just 600 million years after the Big Bang!
Here's the news release from ESO's website:

From October 30, 2006.
Dress warmly, gather some friends and family, and head outside to watch sand burn in the upper atmosphere. There's nothing like a good meteor shower. Fraser and Pamela explain this beautiful phenomenon: what causes them, the best storms and showers to watch for, and different types of meteors you might see.
