This week, a science team announced the discovery of JADES-GS-z14-0, a galaxy that existed just 290 million years after the big bang. JADES-GS-z14-0 now holds the record for the most distant known galaxy, with redshift z=14.32.
The discovery is based on spectroscopic measurements made using the Webb telescope of light from this distant galaxy that has traveled for over 13.5 billion years.
