That’s incredible news! If confirmed, this could give us so much insight into the early universe and possibly even the nature of dark matter. The JWST just keeps delivering amazing discoveries!

Truly amazing if confirmed! Redshifts of 17-25, just 100-200 million years after the Big Bang 😯. Black Holes not stars the first light sources in the universe ironically.

Six objects at redshift 17 and 3 objects at redshift 25. Wow!!!

There have been claims of objects at these redshifts since the JWST started taking data. So far, spectra haven’t confirmed any of them. that could change, of course, but I’m not going to get excited until spectroscopy confirms it.Â
(It’s very possible for dusty star forming galaxies at redshift 4 to masquerade as ultra high redshift, basically the Balmer jump looks like the Lyman break and emission lines give the appearance of a blue continuum.)
