The James Webb Telescope has captured the Maisie Galaxy, the oldest galaxy in the universe.
This is reported Science Alert.
The emergence of this galaxy occurred 390 million years after the Big Bang, which is confirmed by spectroscopic analysis. She was discovered and named after her daughter by University of Texas at Austin astronomer Stephen Finkelstein.
According to him, the Maisie Galaxy is of interest because it is one of the first distant galaxies that the James Webb telescope identified. Of this set, it is the first one actually confirmed spectroscopically.
Maisie’s light traveled around the universe for about 13.4 billion years before being picked up by a telescope.
The astronomer noted that it is extremely difficult to explain how such a massive galaxy was created.
“I think that was the most likely outcome, because it was so extreme, bright, at such a high redshift,” said Finkelstein.
