Massive Data Breach Exposes 184 Million Records, Experts Warn of Identity Theft Risk

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified the most distant galaxy ever observed, designated MoM z14, which existed just 280 million years after the Big Bang, according to researchers from Yale University. This discovery surpasses the previous record holder, JADES-GS-z14-0, by 20 million years. Yale professor Pieter van Dokkum described the finding as a “cosmic miracle,” highlighting that the galaxy is the earliest known object, emerging when the universe was merely 280 million years old.
JWST, which has been operational since summer 2022, excels in detecting high-redshift galaxies, with MoM z14 exhibiting a redshift of 14.44. Van Dokkum noted that JWST was not expected to locate galaxies this early in its mission, suggesting that over 100 bright galaxies may exist in the early universe—far more than anticipated pre-launch.
Researchers found MoM z14 to be around 50 times smaller than the Milky Way, featuring elements like nitrogen and carbon, indicating a rapidly forming star rate. This discovery opens avenues for further exploration of early cosmic history, as scientists now speculate the existence of even earlier galaxies.
