I wonder what the most distinct object ever seen was
We are looking at a galaxy that existed when the Universe was 2% of its current age. My mind doesn’t process this right.
MoM?! Happy Mother’s Day, MoM!
Your Mom’s so big we can resolve her at 0.05 arcseconds at 12 billion light years away.
I thought the most distant lights should be red from the wave length shifting over the long distance and the universe constantly expanding.
Please illuminate my ignorance
I still need a explanation on how they know this lmao If thats the best image we can get wtf is there to study
There’s a bazillion objects in the sky. They looked at all of them?
It’s “your day” MoM-Z14! We need to remember you on Mother’s Day.
Astronomers out there: how it is possible to have a direct line of sight to something so far away and not have anything in the telescope’s path to interfere with seeing it? And secondly, considering the field of view of this thing billions of light years away and the universe being so vast, how would you even know where to point a telescope in the first place?
Your MoM-z14 is so fat, she’s the farthest object away we’ve ever seen – but we can still see her
Happy MoM’s day
Your MoM is so fat …
But she never seems so far after a nice phone call.
Yo mom is so big she can be seen from the other side of the universe..
MoM-z14? More like DaD-z14!
I taught astronomy and cosmology at William Paterson Uni for a decade. I put my courses online fully here. I really went after Relativity for the students. Enjoy

I knew the master of masters had disappeared somewhere super far away
