Evidence for the first generation of stars to exist in the universe has come to light, thanks to observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The proof is located in one of the most ...

Astronomers have peered out into the vast expanse and spotted what they think is the farthest (and oldest) galaxy ever observed. The galaxy GN-z11 might not have a flashy name, but it appears to be ...

Talk about a galaxy far, far away. Astronomers believe they may have discovered the furthest galaxy from Earth, more than 13 billion light-years away from our planet, according to a newly published ...

NASA's Webb Telescope NIRCam captures GOODS-North galaxies in stunning detail. Astronomers have discovered surprising details about a very distant galaxy, GN-z11, which existed just 420 million years ...

The Hubble Space Telescope just calculated the distance to the most far-out galaxy ever measured, providing scientists with a look deep into the history of the universe. The far-away galaxy, named ...

As astronomers look deep into space, they also see far back in time. Now, astronomers at the University of Tokyo may have found the oldest, most distant galaxy ever seen. These observations come close ...

Though NASA's news from March makes us feel slightly uncomfortable — and really, really small — we have to admit, this is pretty incredible: the Hubble Space Telescope broke the previous cosmic ...

Looking out into the universe with a telescope means looking back in time, as the speed of light is so slow that even the light of nearby stars in our own galaxy takes years or millennia to reach us.

This image locates galaxy GN-z11 in the northern hemisphere field of the Hubble GOODS survey, which takes in tens of thousands of galaxies stretching far back into time. GN-z11, shown in the inset, is ...
