JWST Breaks the Cosmic Distance Record: The Discovery of the 2nd- and 4th-Most Distant Galaxies

In this episode, we explore the amazing discovery of the second-most and fourth-most distant galaxies ever observed, which are located in a region of space known as Pandora’s Cluster. We learn how the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected and measured these ancient galaxies, which are more than 13 billion light-years away from us, and how they reveal the diversity and complexity of the early universe. We also discuss the implications and significance of this discovery for the field of cosmology and galaxy evolution.

So, how are we just now seeing these galaxies that are supposed to be from shortly after the "big bang"? How did we get 13 billion light years from them if we all originated from the same starting location? Does that mean we were shot out of there at many times the speed of light, and then slowed down significantly to virtually stop and observe what was happening back around the starting location? I can accept that there are galaxies that are tens of billions of years old, and that light travels at the speed of light. So something far off, we're seeing the light as it was when it left its source however long ago, but I can't fathom how we're seeing things as far away as 13 billion light years, and the universe is somehow just slightly older than that. Seems to me the "big bang" doesn't really account for that. I know there are many other issues with the BB theory, but just wondering if there is some explanation that answers this question about it?

More amazing observations of early galaxies by the JWST, at great redshift too! Fascinating, thank you.

[Shoey]

Glad to know the early universe was diverse, but was it also inclusive?

[Divedown_]

Uncover-Z12 is supposedly 1, 500 light year in diameter, which is not 20 times smaller than the Milky Way as the Milky Way is approximately 100, 000 light-years in diameter. Uncover-z13 is supposedly 6, 000 Light year in diameter and as such not at all comparable to the Milky Way. Correct me if I'm wrong

[skyeye]

So something is wrong.
1. The universe is much older than we thought.
2. Red Shift measurement is wrong.
3. Could two universes be overlaping each other?

[susannahallanic]

Thank you for sharing these informations. I feel very lucky to have lived long enough to have witnessed these bits of history.

[richardmercer]

Those earliest galaxies (5:03) looked like they were having a lot of fun!

[SolarizeYourLife]

Do we know of any 13 billion years old galaxies that are only 5 billion or less light years away??? Why not???

[phk]

The universe has to be infinite. For it not to be the endless dark empty space would have to come to an end and be replaced what? What could replace the space? It has to be eternal because the alternative is that there used to be nothing and then something came into existence. You can't get something from nothing so there must always have been something - hence no beginning.

[elimontoya]

Is more amazing that there’s people who think they know how old the universe is. There’s always going to be new discoveries that give clues and that’s all. Is very presumptuous of humans and their long imaginary measuring stick…

[mikefoss]

Are new galaxies forming not just joining two already formed?

[mikefoss]

Where did Milky Way form? Are new galaxies forming not just two joining?

[nilstelle]

And we humans are not alone because 13 billion years has had life expectancy facts matter

[jeffsiegwart]

Great presentation! Don't loose the phone number of you narrator.

[richnauer]

As important as all of this is I would be more interested in finding intelligent civilizations. If one intelligent civilization 500 hundred to 10, 000 earth yrs more advance then ourselves made contact w us it would be phenomenal what they could share w us. I would think that advanced civilizations would have eliminated strife, wars, otherwise they would not have reached this level of long existence. This hopefully would mean no harm to our existence.

[rubiks]

The standard model of cosmology is broken.

[davido]

Scientists...blind men examining an elephant.

[mikefoss]

Where is the movement for that galaxy since it is expanding from point zero

[mikefoss]

Didn’t the Big Bang go in every direction like on opposite side from our perspective

[SolarizeYourLife]

Don't you mean WAS producing tons of new stars at time of observation???
