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

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.

"James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Oldest Galaxy in the Universe"

The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed that "Maisie's galaxy," one of the first objects captured by the telescope, is one of the earliest galaxies ever discovered. Scientists have determined that Maisie's galaxy existed when the universe was just 390 million years old, making it one of the four earliest galaxies seen by humans. The galaxy is distinct from modern galaxies, appearing smaller and brighter with a higher rate of star formation. The discovery was made on the astronomer Steven Finkelstein's daughter's ninth birthday, leading to the galaxy being named after her.

"Groundbreaking Discovery: Maisie's Galaxy Unveiled as One of the Universe's Oldest"

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that Maisie's galaxy, named after astronomer Steven Finkelstein's daughter, is one of the earliest galaxies ever observed. Spectroscopic observations reveal that the galaxy was detected 390 million years after the Big Bang, making it one of the four earliest confirmed galaxies. The findings were published in the journal Nature.

"JWST's 3D Visualization Unveils 5,000 Galaxies in CEERS Survey"

The James Webb Space Telescope has released a stunning 3D visualization that takes viewers on a journey back in time to just after the Big Bang. The video showcases over 5,000 galaxies in full color and three dimensions, starting with nearby galaxies and ending with Maisie's Galaxy, one of the most distant galaxies ever observed. The visualization is based on data collected by the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey and highlights the capabilities of the JWST in studying early galaxies through infrared observation. The goal is to learn more about the formation of early galaxies and understand if they differ from galaxies observed closer to Earth.
