James Webb Telescope Discovers Most Distant Galaxy Ever
TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the most distant galaxy ever found, JADES-GS-z14-0, which dates back to just 285 million years after the Big Bang. This discovery has provided five key insights: not all early galaxies are compact, some ultra-distant galaxy candidates are incorrect, some galaxies are hidden by closer interlopers, the new record-holder is unexpectedly bright, and it is extremely dust-poor. These findings continue to enhance our understanding of the early Universe.
