In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...
The name of this galaxy is based on a Redshift (z) measurement of nearly 7 (actually, z = 6.604). [ 5 ] Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7 is reported to be the brightest of distant galaxies (z > 6) and to contain some of the earliest first stars ( first generation ; Population III ) that produced the chemical elements needed for the later formation of ...
2013 – The galaxy Z8 GND 5296 is confirmed by spectroscopy to be one of the most distant galaxies found up to this time. Formed just 700 million years after the Big Bang, expansion of the universe has carried it to its current location, about 13 billion light years away from Earth (30 billion light years comoving distance).

List of the largest known stars in Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies Star name Solar radii (Sun = 1) Galaxy Method [a] Notes Theoretical limit of star size (Andromeda Galaxy) ≳1,750 [11] L/T eff: Estimated by measuring the fraction of red supergiants at higher luminosities in a large sample of stars. Assumes an effective temperature of 3,625 K.
