Spectroscopic observations by JWST's NIRSpec instrument in October 2022 confirmed the galaxy's redshift of z = 13.2 to a high accuracy, establishing it as the oldest and most distant spectroscopically-confirmed galaxy at the time, with a light-travel distance (lookback time) of 13.4 billion years.
F200DB-045 is a candidate high-redshift galaxy, with an estimated redshift of approximately z = 20.4, [2] [3] corresponding to 168 million years after the Big Bang. [4] If confirmed, it would be one of the earliest and most distant known galaxies observed.
JADES-GS-z14-0 is a high-redshift Lyman-Break galaxy in the constellation Fornax that was discovered in 2024 using NIRcam as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It has a redshift of 14.32, making it the most distant galaxy and astronomical object ever discovered.
Up until the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-0 in 2022 by the James Webb Space Telescope, GN-z11 was the oldest and most distant known galaxy yet identified in the observable universe, [7] having a spectroscopic redshift of z = 10.957, which corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 32 billion light-years (9.8 billion parsecs).
Deep space observations of the JWST have revealed that the structure and masses of very early Universe galaxies at high redshifts (z ∼ 15), existing at ∼0.3 Gyr after the Big Bang, may be as evolved as the galaxies in existence for ∼ 10 Gyr. The JWST findings are thus in strong tension with the CDM cosmological model.
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a galaxy far, far away, from back when our universe was an infant. This Could Be the Oldest Galaxy We’ve Ever Laid Eyes On, Thanks to Webb Skip to ...
Since the beginning of the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) science operations in June 2022, numerous distant galaxies far beyond what could be seen by the Hubble Space Telescope (z = 11) have been discovered thanks to the JWST's capability of seeing far into the infrared.
Like our home galaxy, the newly discovered ceers-2112 is a barred spiral galaxy, and it’s now the most distant of its kind ever observed. The bar at the center of the structure is made of stars.
