The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected light from a galaxy that existed approximately 280 million years after the Big Bang. This observation sets a new record for the most distant galaxy ever identified. The discovery provides astronomers with valuable insights into the early universe, including the formation and evolution of the first galaxies. Previously, JWST had identified bright galaxies from several hundred million years after the Big Bang, but this new finding pushes the observational boundary closer to the origin of the universe. The detection was made possible by JWST's advanced infrared capabilities, which allow it to observe extremely distant and faint objects. This achievement contributes to our understanding of cosmic history and the processes that shaped the universe shortly after its inception.
