Using the Webb Space Telescope, scientists havecaptured deep field images that reveal ancient galaxies.
The Webb Telescope is specifically designed to observe this infrared light.
This latest discovery was initially made in October 2023.
Galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0 is the new record holder for the most distant galaxy ever seen.Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, B. Robertson (UC Santa Cruz), B. Johnson (CfA), S. Tacchella (Cambridge), P. Cargile (CfA).
The new record-holder is impressive not only for its distance but also for its remarkable luminosity.
Its important to point out that the new paper has not yet gone through a peer-review process.
JADES-GS-z14-0 now becomes the archetype of this phenomenon, Carniani said.
