"Oldest Galaxy in the Universe: Maisie's Cosmos Revealed"

TL;DR Summary
Maisie's galaxy, named after astronomer Steven Finkelstein's daughter, has been confirmed as one of the earliest galaxies ever observed, dating back to 390 million years after the Big Bang. Spectroscopic observations using the James Webb Space Telescope have provided more accurate estimates of its redshift, placing it at a redshift of z=11.4. The galaxy's brightness and blue appearance challenge current models of early galaxy formation, making it an intriguing object for further study.
