James Webb telescope discovers 2 earliest galaxies in the universe
  • The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified two of the earliest and most distant galaxies, JADES-GS-z14-0 and JADES-GS-z14-1, which date back to just 300 million years after the Big Bang.
  • Located in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, JADES-GS-z14-0, the larger of the two galaxies, spans approximately 1,600 light-years.
