Ever since the James Webb Space Telescope was launched, it has been telling us a lot about the universe. Similarly, it has discovered a galaxy that was formed 290 million years after the Big Bang and it is the oldest and farthest galaxy discovered till date. Earlier we had talked about JADES-GS-z7-01-QU & JADES-GS-z13-0 galaxy, which was the oldest galaxy at that time, but JADES-GS-z14-0 has broken all the records. The JADES Team: Peering into the Distant Past JADES is an international team of astronomers leveraging the JWST's immense power to study the early universe. By observing faint objects at extreme distances, they effectively look back in time, piecing together the cosmos's story. Their recent discovery of JADES-GS-z14-0 pushes the frontier of our knowledge even further. JADES-GS-z14-0: A Galaxy Born in Infancy JADES-GS-z14-0 is estimated to have formed a mere 290 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only 2% of its current age. This makes it t...
