James Webb surpasses its previous record for the furthest galaxy ever seen.
James Webb's scientific operations have only been underway for a few days, but the massive infrared observatory has already surpassed its previous record for the farthest distant galaxy ever seen.
A team discovered an observation of a galaxy 400 million years after the Big Bang last week. A galaxy was discovered this week, only 235 million years after the Big Bang, according to a new investigation. It is 35 billion light-years from our planet.
