JWST found most distant galaxy; it's very old

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected light from the most distant galaxy ever observed, dating back to just 280 million years after the Big Bang. This groundbreaking discovery pushes the boundaries of observable space. The newly identified galaxy, named MoM-z14, was found through spectroscopic analysis, confirming its extreme distance. The JWST's advanced capabilities have allowed astronomers to observe galaxies at redshifts greater than z=10, revealing a surprising abundance of bright, early galaxies. This finding provides valuable insights into early galaxy formation and evolution, potentially linking the chemical composition of MoM-z14 to ancient stars and globular clusters within our own galaxy. The JWST continues to revolutionize our understanding of the early universe.
