Galaxy confirmed as farthest from Earth ever found
The group of galaxies, known as JKCS041, beats the previous record holder by about a billion light years. It appears as it was when Earth was only a quarter of its present age.
The bunch, containing hundreds of galaxies, was analysed by combining data from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory (which has been in orbit since 1999) with data from optical and infrared telescopes.
