    The timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their natural satellites charts the progress of the discovery of new bodies over history. Each object is listed in chronological order of its discovery (multiple dates occur when the moments of imaging, observation, and publication differ), identified through its various designations (including temporary and permanent schemes), and the ...

    These were the most remote objects discovered at the time. The pair of galaxies were found lensed by galaxy cluster CL1358+62 (z = 0.33). This was the first time since 1964 that something other than a quasar held the record for being the most distant object in the universe.

    Although it is debatable when the Solar System as such was truly "discovered", three 19th century observations determined its nature and place in the Universe beyond reasonable doubt. First, by 1835–1838, Thomas Henderson [ 41 ] and Friedrich Bessel [ 42 ] successfully measured two stellar parallax , an apparent shift in the position of a ...

    This is a radio galaxy. At the time of discovery, quasar Q0051-279 at z=4.43, discovered in 1987, was the most remote object known. In 1989, quasar PC 1158+4635 was discovered at z=4.73, making it the most remote object known. This was the first galaxy discovered above redshift 3. It was also the first galaxy found above redshift 2. [74] [86 ...
