JWST Uncovers Universe’s Ancient VIPs

The James Webb Space Telescope's JADES program has spotlighted two of the universe’s earliest galaxies, JADES-GS-z14-0 and JADES-GS-z14-1. These cosmic pioneers existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang, with their light traveling 13.5 billion years to reach us. JADES-GS-z14-0 dazzles as the brightest galaxy of its age, stretching 1,600 light-years. These discoveries, confirmed by JWST’s NIRSpec, NIRCam, and MIRI instruments, suggest the early universe was more vibrant than we imagined—proving once again that space keeps us on our toes.
