It was discovered along with another galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-1, that is almost as far away and takes second place in the ranking of theThe announcement of the discoveries, made in Oct.
JADES team member and University of California-Santa Cruz researcher Ben Johnson added that JADES-GS-z14-0 shows that galaxy formation in the early universe was very rapid and intense. Not everything about JADES-GS-z14-0 was immediately clear to the JADES team and some elements could confuse our picture of the early cosmos.
The galaxy also surprised its discoverers because its light is even redder than expected. That is because the light from JADES-GS-z14-0 is being"reddened" by dust within it that will become the building blocks of stars that will help this galaxy grow even larger.
