James Webb Space Telescope smashes its own record to find the earliest galaxies that ever existed
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted five galaxy candidates dating to just 200 million years after the Big Bang, making them the earliest ever detected. And there could be many more.
James Webb Space Telescope 'pushed to its limits' to see most distant galaxies ever
Prior to this discovery, made as part of the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST's) Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) project, the most distant galaxy observed by the powerful space telescope was JADES-GS-z14-0. That one was seen as it was when the universe was around 280 million years old.

Here's the spectacular scene over at the Sombrero galaxy
FREE! NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured this stellar image of Messier 104 (M104), better known as the Sombrero galaxy. Located 30 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo, the Sombrero galaxy was discovered in 1781 but given the nickname later due to its bright nucleus and symmetrical ring of dust clouds.
