The galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope in early 2024, is the most distant galaxy ever detected, dating back 13.4 billion light-years. This finding challenges current models of early galaxy formation, indicating galaxies formed and evolved much earlier than previously thought. The galaxy exhibits significant star formation and brightness, suggesting a more active early universe. Analysis reveals it contains mature stars, prompting a reevaluation of galaxy evolution timelines after the Big Bang. These results are published in The Astrophysical Journal and Astronomy & Astrophysics.
