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.

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 ...
One particularly distant body is 90377 Sedna, which was discovered in November 2003.It has an extremely eccentric orbit that takes it to an aphelion of 937 AU. [2] It takes over 10,000 years to orbit, and during the next 50 years it will slowly move closer to the Sun as it comes to perihelion at a distance of 76 AU from the Sun. [3] Sedna is the largest known sednoid, a class of objects that ...

Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope has found the two most distant galaxies ever seen, the space agency has said. The two galaxies are the earliest ever seen in the universe, dating back to when ...
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to spot a Milky Way-like galaxy that formed soon after the big bang created the universe.
The following is a list of Solar System objects by orbit, ordered by increasing distance from the Sun. Most named objects in this list have a diameter of 500 km or more.

Astronomers have spied a monster radio jet in the distant universe that’s twice the width of the Milky Way galaxy. The ancient object formed when the universe was less than 10% of its current ...
