London - Saba:
Astronomers have detected oxygen in the galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0, the oldest known galaxy to date, discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2024.
Using the ALMA Microwave Telescope, large quantities of oxygen ions were detected in this galaxy, located 13.4 billion light-years away, indicating that it evolved at an incredible speed 290 million years after the Big Bang.
The results exceeded scientific expectations, shedding light on how the earliest galaxies in the universe evolved more rapidly than previously thought.
