Not really - there is a fairly definite ending about 13.4b light years into the image.
I think you're referring to the age of the universe here? But due to inflation, although the universe is 13 billion years old, the observable universe is quite a bit bigger than that (i.e. we can see stars much further than 13 billion light years away).
