Astronomers have found the most distant galaxy ever observed

Astronomers have found what they believe is the most distant galaxy ever observed, saying the ‘amazing’ discovery is ‘just the start of many important observations’.

Observations using NASA’s £10 million James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed a galaxy 35 billion light years from Earth, known as CEERS-93316.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh say the galaxy existed 235 million years after the Big Bang, which formed the first stars and galaxies in the Universe 13.8 billion years ago.

The most distant galaxy previously identified was GN-z11, which is around 32 billion light-years from Earth, according to the university.

The find is currently a 'preliminary' or 'candidate' result, meaning it will still need a follow-up study to be confirmed, but astronomers are still celebrating the development.
