Farthest Object

The Astronomy Picture of the Day for June 24, 2024, features JADES-GS-z14-0, the most distant galaxy discovered, which formed only 300 million years after the Big Bang. This galaxy, identified through a James Webb Space Telescope image, has a record redshift of z=14.32, indicating it existed when the universe was just one fiftieth of its current age. The image highlights the early formation of galaxies in the universe.

Explanation: What if we could see back to the beginning of the universe? We could see galaxies forming. But
what did galaxies look like back then? These questions took a step forward recently with the release of the
analysis of a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image that included the most distant object yet discovered.
Most galaxies formed at about 3 billion years after the Big Bang, but some formed earlier. Pictured in the inset
box is JADES-GS-z14-0, a faint smudge of a galaxy that formed only 300 million years after the universe
started. In technical terms, this galaxy lies at the record redshift of z=14.32, and so existed when the universe
was only one fiftieth of the its present age. Practically all of the objects in the featured photograph are
galaxies.
