       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

       A dark field is shown filled with smudges that are distant galaxies.   
         One smudge is expanded in an inset box. This box shows a reddish   
          elongated object. Please see the explanation for more detailed   
                                   information.

      Explanation: What if we could see back to the beginning of the   
      universe? We could see galaxies forming. But what did galaxies look   
      like back then? These questions took a step forward recently with the   
      release of the analysis of a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image   
      that included the most distant object yet discovered. Most galaxies   
      formed at about 3 billion years after the Big Bang, but some formed   
      earlier. Pictured in the inset box is JADES-GS-z14-0, a faint smudge of   
      a galaxy that formed only 300 million years after the universe started.   
      In technical terms, this galaxy lies at the record redshift of z=14.32,   
      and so existed when the universe was only one fiftieth of the its   
      present age. Practically all of the objects in the featured photograph   
      are galaxies.
