But JADES-GS-z14-0 was special — when I found it, I was quite suspicious because it had all the hallmarks of trying to trick us. I was sceptical until we finally confirmed its properties.

One such galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the pullout), was determined to be at a redshift of 14.3, making it the current record-holder for most distant known galaxy.

JADES-GS-z14-0, observed by NASA using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2024, proved to be the most distant galaxy ever detected. Further research has shown that oxygen may exist in such a ...

JADES-GS-z14-0 is definitely there, a shining datapoint that represents a new way forward for understanding how the Universe formed, at the very beginning. The location of JADES-GS-z14-0.

Discovered last year, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant confirmed galaxy ever found: it is so far away, its light took 13.4 billion years to reach us, meaning we see it as it was when the ...

Instead, JADES-GS-z14-0's oxygen-rich environment implies rapid stellar birth and death cycles, compressing timelines for galactic evolution. "Galaxies may form more rapidly post-Big Bang than we ...

With JADES-GS-z14-0, we've taken a giant leap toward uncovering those incredible mysteries, proving that the universe is a treasure trove of wonders just waiting to be discovered.

Called JADES-GS-z14-0, the galaxy possesses a redshift of 14.32, pushing the previous record for the most distant known galaxy (JADES-GS-z13-0, with a redshift of 13.2) out of first place.

Using Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph), team members carried out follow-up observations of the galaxy in January, confirming that JADES-GS-z14-0 was indeed at a redshift of 14.32.

One such galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the pullout), was determined to be at a redshift of 14.32 (+0.08/-0.20), making it the current record-holder for the most distant known galaxy.
