Hinzugefügt: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Web found the most distant galaxy ever confirmed. Its name is JADES-GS-Z14-0 and its light left when the universe was just 290 million years old. That light traveled for 13.5 billion years to reach Webb's NIRSpec instrument. At redshift 14.32, this galaxy spans 1600 light-years and shines far brighter than models predicted.

[00:00:24]To put that in perspective, we are seeing it as it was when the cosmos was 2% of its current age.

[00:00:30]And that brightness means galaxies grew up faster than our standard cosmology allows.
