It's pretty neat that we can see something like that from the distant past of our universe. Like, I'm aware that everything we see out in space is pretty delayed, but hearing this referred to as being in the 'early universe' really drives home that we're looking into the past on such incredibly long time scales. It makes the hundred thousand years or so from one end of the Milky Way to the other sound pretty recent in comparison.
