'Previously unimaginable': James Webb telescope breaks own record again, discovering farthest known galaxy in the universe

The James Webb Space Telescope discovered the most distant galaxy ever observed, named MoM-z14, located just 280 million years after the Big Bang. This compact galaxy, 400 times smaller than the Milky Way, was confirmed through spectroscopic analysis with a record-breaking redshift of 14.44. The discovery continues a pattern of Webb finding unexpectedly bright ancient galaxies that challenge existing theories about early universe formation, suggesting star formation occurred similarly even in the cosmos's infancy.
