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.
JADES-GS-z13-0 is a high-redshift Lyman-break galaxy discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) during NIRCam imaging for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) on 29 September 2022.
NGC 1023, also known as the Perseus Lenticular Galaxy, [3] is a barred lenticular galaxy, a member of the NGC 1023 group of galaxies in the Local Supercluster. Distance measurements vary from 9.3 to 19.7 million parsecs (30 to 64 million light-years). [1] The supermassive black hole at the core has a mass of (4.4 ± 0.5) × 10 7 M ☉. [4]
Scientists say they've discovered a new galaxy that's so dark and compact, it's basically invisible. But it's actually been here the whole time. Whoa, Scientists Found the Universe's Invisible Galaxy
Also based on oxygen-related measurements, the age of the galaxy is confirmed. [11] [12] GLASS-z12 derives its name from the GLASS survey that discovered it and its estimated photometric redshift of approximately z = 12.4 +0.1 −0.3. [1] GLASS-z12 was initially announced as GLASS-z13 because it was thought to have a higher redshift of z = 13.1.
The spiral galaxy NGC 4622 lies approximately 111 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus. NGC 4622 is an example of a galaxy with leading spiral arms. [2] Each spiral arm winds away from the center of the galaxy and ends at an outermost tip that "points" in a certain direction (away from the arm).
UGC 2885 (Rubin's Galaxy, [10] nicknamed "Godzilla galaxy" [11]) is a large barred spiral galaxy of type SA(rs)c in the constellation Perseus.It is 232 million light-years (71 Mpc) from Earth and measures 463,000 ly (142,000 pc) across, making it one of the largest known spiral galaxies.
MACS 2129-1 is an early universe so-called 'dead' disk galaxy discovered in 2017 by the Hubble Space Telescope from NASA. [2] It lies approximately 10 billion light-years away from Earth (current distance 18 billion light years) . [3] [4] MACS 2129-1 has been described as 'dead' as it has ceased making new stars.
