Length of the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, a colossal wall of galaxies, the largest and the most massive structure in the observable universe as of 2014 127 Ym Estimated light travel distance to GN-z11, the most distant object ever observed 870 Ym Approximate diameter (comoving distance) of the visible universe [1] 10 27: 1 Rm: 1.2 Rm
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. [135] [138] [139] [136] [133] [140] PC 1247–3406: Quasar 1991 − ...
NGC 1262 is a barred spiral galaxy [3] located in the constellation Eridanus. [4] NGC 1262 is about 686 million light-years [5] from Earth.This galaxy was formerly believed to be the most distant object in the New General Catalogue, [6] however, in 2023 using data from Ann Isaacs from the University of Minnesota, Stephen Odewahn from the McDonald Observatory used new radial velocity ...
In 1964 a quasar became the most distant object in the universe for the first time. Quasars would remain the most distant objects in the universe until 1997, when a pair of non-quasar galaxies would take the title (galaxies CL 1358+62 G1 & CL 1358+62 G2 lensed by galaxy cluster CL 1358+62 ).
The discovery of 90377 Sedna in 2003, together with a few other objects discovered around that time such as (148209) 2000 CR 105 and (612911) 2004 XR 190, has motivated discussion of a category of distant objects that may also be inner Oort cloud objects or (more likely) transitional objects between the scattered disc and the inner Oort cloud.

This galaxy is the most distant object in the Messier Catalog, followed by M91. M109 has three satellite galaxies ( UGC 6923 , UGC 6940 and UGC 6969 ) and possibly more. Detailed hydrogen line observations have been obtained from M109 and its satellites.
Distant objects like this could help astronomers identify our solar system's missing planet. A newly discovered space object called 'Farfarout' is the most distant thing in our solar system Skip ...
