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 − ...
GRB 090423 was a gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission on April 23, 2009, at 07:55:19 UTC whose afterglow was detected in the infrared and enabled astronomers to determine that its redshift is z = 8.2, making it one of the most distant objects detected at that time with a spectroscopic redshift (GN-z11, discovered ...
Voyager 1 overtakes Pioneer 10 as the most distant spacecraft from the Sun, at 69.419 AU. Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun at over 1 AU per year faster than Pioneer 10. 2004-12-17 Passed the termination shock at 94 AU and entered the heliosheath. 2007-02-02 Terminated plasma subsystem operations. 2007-04-11 Terminated plasma subsystem heater.
Harikane et al.The infinite expanse of space is somehow feeling a little bit bigger now, after an international team of researchers announced they had discovered the most distant astronomical ...
The spacecraft, still traveling at 64,000 km/h (40,000 mph), is the most distant human-made object from Earth and the first one to leave the Solar System. [5] Its mission has been extended and continues to this day, with the aim of investigating the boundaries of the Solar System, including the Kuiper belt, the heliosphere and interstellar space.

The most distant world ever explored 4 billion miles away finally has an official name: Arrokoth. NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew past the snowman-shaped Arrokoth on New Year's Day, 3 ½ years ...
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 ...
