James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed the most remote galaxy that emerged only 280 million years after the formation of the universe. This discovery once again demonstrated JWST’s capacity to expand the curtain of the earliest stages of cosmic time. The newly discovered galaxy was called ‘MOM-Z14’. The discovery was carried out within the scope of Mirage (or Miracle) spectroscopic research to observe the early universe.

Spectroscopic investigations ‘light of’ MOM-Z14 was mostly caused by stars. In other words, the galaxy does not have the light of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) spread through a super -mass black hole, but a glitter from many and possibly super -mass stars. In addition, the galaxy’s nitrogen-carbon ratio is higher than the Sun. This ratio points to a chemical composition similar to the old global star clusters of the Milky Way. Researchers say that this similarity offers clues that connect the galaxy evolution throughout cosmic time.
