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.
[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 ...
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).
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.
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 ...
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.
2022 – James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) releases the Webb's First Deep Field. 2022 – JWST detects CEERS-93316, a candidate high-redshift galaxy, with an estimated redshift of approximately z = 16.7, corresponding to 235.8 million years [44] after the Big Bang. [45] If confirmed, it is one of the earliest and most distant known galaxies ...
Contained within a small galaxy located 5.3 million light-years away are big clues about how stars can form.. In fact, scientists didn't really expect that stars would even be able to still form ...
