James Webb Space Telescope finds most distant galaxy ever detected: 'It looks nothing like what we predicted' | Space

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the most distant galaxy yet detected, named MoM-z14, which challenges existing theories about the early universe. The galaxy, observed just 280 million years after the Big Bang, is brighter, more compact, and more chemically enriched than predicted. Its elevated nitrogen levels suggest rapid star formation, and it has cleared its region of primordial hydrogen gas, raising new questions about the universe's early history.
