    It differs from the “light travel distance” since the proper distance takes into account the expansion of the universe, i.e. the space expands as the light travels through it, resulting in numerical values which locate the most distant galaxies beyond the Hubble sphere and therefore with recession velocities greater than the speed of light c.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MACS1149-JD1

    MACS1149-JD1 (also known as JD1 and PCB2012 3020) is a young galaxy that is known for being one of the farthest known galaxies from Earth. It was discovered in 2014 and confirmed in 2018. [ 6 ] The JD1 galaxy is at a redshift of about z=9.11, [ 1 ] or about 13.28 billion ly (4.07 billion pc ) away from Earth meaning that it formed when the ...

    Size (left) and distance (right) of a few well-known galaxies put to scale. The following is a list of notable galaxies.. There are about 51 galaxies in the Local Group (see list of nearest galaxies for a complete list), on the order of 100,000 in the Local Supercluster, and an estimated 100 billion in all of the observable universe.

    Up until the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-0 in 2022 by the James Webb Space Telescope, GN-z11 was the oldest and most distant known galaxy yet identified in the observable universe, [7] having a spectroscopic redshift of z = 10.957, which corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 32 billion light-years (9.8 billion parsecs).

    SMACS J0723.3–7327, commonly referred to as SMACS 0723, is a galaxy cluster about 4 billion light years from Earth, [2] within the southern constellation of Volans (RA/Dec = 110.8375, −73.4391667).

  8. NGC 5468 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_5468

    As of 2024, NGC 5468 is the most distant galaxy in which Hubble Space Telescope has detected Cepheid variable stars, which are important milepost markers for measuring distances. [6] NGC 5468 forms a non-interacting pair with NGC 5472, which lies at a projected distance of 5.1 arcminutes. NGC 5468 belongs to the NGC 5493 galaxy group.

  9. Abell 2218 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abell_2218

    Abell 2218 was used as a gravitational lens to discover the most distant known object in the universe as of 2004. The object, a galaxy some 13 billion years old, is seen from Earth as it would have been just 750 million years after the Big Bang. [3] The color of the lensed galaxies is a function of their distances and types.
