<p>Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2329601-jwst-has-found-the-oldest-galaxy-we-have-ever-seen-in-the-universe/?NSDAY_210722">discovered a galaxy</a> so old it predates the previous oldest known galaxy by roughly 100 million years.</p>

<p>The previous oldest known galaxy, GN-z11, was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2016 and came into existence 400 million years after the Big Bang.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re potentially looking at the most distant starlight that anyone has ever seen,&#8221; Rohan Naidu of the Harvard Center for Astrophysics told <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220720-webb-telescope-may-have-already-found-most-distant-known-galaxy">AFP</a>.</p>
<p>The newly-discovered galaxy has been <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/space/james-webb-space-telescope-oldest-galaxy-universe-b2127399.html">named</a> GLASS-z13, and came into existence 300 million years after the Big Bang.</p>
<p>“JWST has potentially smashed records, spotting a galaxy which existed when the universe was a mere 300 million years old!” former NASA  scientist James O’Donoghue enthused. “The light from GLASS-z13 took 13.4 billion years to hit us, but the distance between us is now 33 billion light years due to the expansion of the universe!”</p>

<p>“Astronomy records are crumbing already, and more are shaky &#8230; Yes, I tend to only cheer once science results clear peer review. But, this looks very promising!” Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Administrator of the NASA Science Mission Directorate added.</p>

<p>GLASS-z13 stretches roughly 1600 light years across compared to Earth’s Milky Way galaxy, which ranges 100,000 light-years in diameter.</p>
<p>The James Webb Space Telescope, the largest space telescope ever sent into space, has been in the works for 30 years at a cost of $10 billion and intends to reach back to the beginnings of the universe.</p>
<p>Roughly 20,000 people have played a part in the telescope’s development over the years, from engineers and astronomers to technicians and government officials.</p>
<p>The pictures to be displayed would show “colors no human eye has seen,” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/10/science/nasa-webb-telescope-images.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimesscience">The New York Times</a> had reported.</p>
<p>The Webb Telescope will far outstrip the capacities of the famed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/something-weird-is-going-on-in-the-universe-nasa-says">Hubble telescope</a> in its quest into space and time.  In 2018, NASA introduced a double-blind system for proposals from scientists wanting to use the Hubble; the Webb Telescope will <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-03538-8">also feature</a> such a process for accepting applicants to use it.</p>
<p>“We all know that Webb will absolutely blow Hubble out of the water by going deeper and finding the earliest galaxies,” asserted Garth Illingworth, an astrophysicist who has utilized Hubble.</p>
<p>The five cosmic objects <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2022/nasa-shares-list-of-cosmic-targets-for-webb-telescope-s-first-images">targeted</a> by the Webb Telescope include the Carina Nebula, roughly 7,600 light years away; the WASP-96 b (spectrum), an exoplanet about half the mass of Jupiter; the Southern Ring Nebula, roughly 2,000 light years away from Earth; Stephan’s Quintet in the constellation Pegasus, about 290 million light years distant, and SMACS 0723.</p>
