James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Most Distant Galaxy Yet

Groundbreaking Discovery by James Webb

The James Webb Space Telescope has achieved another remarkable feat by discovering the most distant galaxy ever observed, located at the very beginning of the universe. This galaxy, known as MoM-z14, boasts a redshift of z = 14.44, surpassing the previous record holder, JADES-GS-z14-0. This groundbreaking finding offers scientists invaluable insights into the early cosmos and the formation of galaxies.
