“We have the potential to see the light of the farthest star,” he said.
The galaxy known as GLASS-z13 formed just 300 million years after the Big Bang, which occurred 13.8 billion years ago.
The telescope managed to capture a view of GLASS-z13 using the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument which is able to detect light from the earliest stars and galaxies.
Naidu and his colleagues involving a team of 25 astronomers from around the world have submitted their findings to scientific journals.
A $10 billion telescope was launched into space in December last year.
It is the largest telescope ever owned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and built in collaboration with the European Space Agency and Canadian Space.
