JWST Breaks Records with Top 8 Most Distant Objects

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has surpassed the Hubble Space Telescope in discovering the most distant objects in the universe. Previously, Hubble held the record, but with better data from JWST, the most distant galaxy known, GN-z11, has fallen to 9th place. JWST has identified a total of 717 ultra-distant galaxy candidates, revealing gaseous features and deeper galaxies that were previously invisible to Hubble. The JADES collaboration has played a significant role in these discoveries. JWST's larger size, better resolution, and infrared optimization have provided superior observations, leading to the identification of three new galaxies that now hold the top spots. However, definitive spectroscopic confirmation is required to determine the distance of these galaxies.
