Síntesis del Episodio


An international astronomer team has discovered the most distant galaxy candidate to date, named HD1, which is about 13.5 billion light-years away. This discovery implies that bright systems like HD1 existed as early as 300 million years after the Big Bang. This galaxy candidate is one of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) targets launched late last year. If observations with the JWST confirm its exact distance, HD1 will be the most distant galaxy ever recorded.
