US EditionThe New, Farthest Galaxy Has Been Found by JWST, only 280 Million Years After the Big Bang
- Scientists observed light from galaxy MoM-z14, currently the most distant galaxy known, which formed approximately 280 million years subsequent to the Big Bang.
- This breakthrough arose from JWST’s advanced mirror and detector technology, which revealed many bright galaxies at redshifts above 10, surpassing prior expectations.
- MoM-Z14 exhibits strong nitrogen emissions and recent rapid star formation, with most stars having formed in the past 10 million years in a compact, relatively low-mass galaxy.
- At redshift z = 14.44, MoM-z14’s light traveled roughly 13.5 billion years and its discovery challenges previous ideas about the timing of cosmic reionization and galaxy formation.
- The findings imply JWST is expanding the cosmic frontier significantly, enabling new insights into early galaxy evolution and the era of the first stars.

The Oldest, Most Distant Galaxy Ever Photographed Is 13.5 Billion Years Old
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has achieved another record. Scientists using the groundbreaking telescope have detected light from an ancient galaxy, MoM-z14, just 280 million years following the Big Bang. It is the most distant, oldest galaxy ever photographed, and its very existence is puzzling.
The new, farthest galaxy has been found by JWST, only 280 million years after the Big Bang
The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it's sensed light from a galaxy only 280 million years after the Big Bang, the most distant galaxy ever detected.
