Similar to the previous record-holder, galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0 discovered by JWST last year, this MoM-z14 also has a lot of heavier elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. This means that it ...

In a paper titled "A COSMIC MIRACLE: A REMARKABLY LUMINOUS GALAXY AT zspec = 14.44 CONFIRMED WITH JWST," scientists have confirmed the most distant galaxy ever seen, MoM-z14, as per Arxiv.

With the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has broken the record for the oldest, most distant galaxy detected to date by humans. In a preprint study, still awaiting ...

Prior to the discovery of MoM z14, the galaxy holding the title of earliest and distant was JADES-GS-z14-0, which existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang, or around 13.5 billion years ago.

The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it's sensed light from a ...
