By 1781 the final published list grows to 103 objects, 34 of which turn out to be galaxies. 1785 – William Herschel carried the first attempt to describe the shape of the Milky Way and the position of the Sun in it by carefully counting the number of stars in different regions of the sky. He produced a diagram of the shape of the galaxy with ...
[citation needed] First superluminal galactic jet 3C 279: Virgo: 1971 The jet is emitted by a quasar [citation needed] First low surface brightness galaxy: Malin 1: Coma Berenices: 1986 Malin 1 was the first verified LSB galaxy. LSB galaxies had been first theorized in 1976. [26] First superluminal jet from a Seyfert III Zw 2: Pisces [27] 2000 [28]
The earliest known galaxies existed by about 380 Ma. Galaxies coalesce into "proto-clusters" from about 1 Ga (redshift z = 6 ) and into galaxy clusters beginning at 3 Ga ( z = 2.1 ), and into superclusters from about 5 Ga ( z = 1.2 ). See: list of galaxy groups and clusters, list of superclusters. Reionization: 200 Ma ~ 1 Ga (Exact timings ...
Scientists said on Wednesday that Webb has spotted a galaxy where star formation had already ceased by roughly 13.1 billion years ago, 700 million years after the Big Bang event that gave rise to ...
Four galaxies that existed more than 13 billion years ago have been identified and confirmed by scientists as the earliest known to date. These galaxies were present around 350 million years after ...
The researchers used sophisticated computer simulations to model how the earliest galaxies evolved. Since beginning operations last year, the James Webb Space Telescope has provided an astonishing ...

[3] Significantly, the redshift that was initially reported was photometric (z = 16.4) and would have made CEERS-93316 the earliest and most distant known galaxy observed. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] CEERS-93316 has a light-travel distance ( lookback time ) of 12.6 billion years, and, due to the expansion of the universe , a present proper distance ...
