GLASS-z13 is approximately 1,600 light-years wide, while GLASS z-11 is 2,300 light-years. The red blob, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, is the oldest galaxy ever observed.

The galaxy candidate in question, GLASS-z13, doesn’t look like much to the untrained eye. Just a red splotch of light.

Images from orbiting system reveal indications of GLASS-z13, a galaxy that existed 13.5 billion years ago, just 300 million years after Big Bang. Skip to main content. Toggle Menu.

GLASS-z13 beats the previous record by about 100 million years; in 2016, the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a galaxy about 13.4 billion light years away, which astronomers call GN-Z11.

It's surprising any light from distant galaxy JADES-GS-Z13-1-LA reached Earth at all. Photons coming from the realm that recently landed on the James Webb Space Telescope's mirrors existed when ...

And yet, here is JADES-GS-z13-1, defying our best models of the universe. “We really shouldn’t have found a galaxy like this, given our understanding of the way the universe has evolved ...

When MIT astronomer Rohan Naidu first looked at GLASS z13, a 300 million year old galaxy since the Big Bang “I called my girlfriend over right away. I told her, ‘This might be the most distant ...

JADES-GS-z13-1-LA is a young galaxy shining just 330 million years after the Big Bang, signaling it's part of a process called reionization. Skip to content.

The distant galaxy JADES-GS-z13-1-LA appears as a red dot in this image from the James Webb Space Telescope. ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, JADES Collaboration, J. Witstok, P. Jakobsen, M. Zamani.

GS-z13-1 is seen when the universe was only 330 million years old, yet it shows a surprisingly clear, telltale signature of Lyman-alpha emission that can only be seen once the surrounding fog has ...
