James Webb Space Telescope 'pushed to its limits' to see most distant galaxies ever
Prior to this discovery, made as part of the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST's) Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) project, the most distant galaxy observed by the powerful space telescope was JADES-GS-z14-0. That one was seen as it was when the universe was around 280 million years old.

James Webb Space Telescope unveils surprising 'Red Monsters' in the early universe
For a long time, astronomers believed galaxy formation followed a very specific model: cosmic gas collects in clumps, stars are born from those clumps, and, over billions of years, stellar neighborhoods gradually increase in size. However, the James Webb Space Telescope, launched in December 2021, has disrupted that model.
James Webb Space Telescope discovers mysterious 'red monster' galaxies so large they shouldn't exist
The James Webb telescope has spotted three gigantic "red monster" galaxies that were spawned soon after the Big Bang. They're so large they could rewrite the laws of galactic evolution.
James Webb Space Telescope Finds First Evidence of Einstein Zig-Zag Phenomenon In a Distant Quasar
The James Webb Telescope uncovers Einstein's zig-zag in quasar light, offering insights into cosmic expansion.
James Webb Space Telescope spots 1st 'Einstein zig-zag' — here's why scientists are thrilled
The James Webb Space Telescope has identified the first-ever "Einstein zig-zag," a distant quasar lensed six times by two precisely aligned galaxies that could help tackle a cosmological crisis.
