JADES-GS-z14-0 was observed using the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) in 2024, [3] and it measured a redshift of 14.32. [4] Its age, size, and luminosity added to a growing body of evidence that current theories of early star and galaxy formation are incomplete.
Messier 83 captured by the Wide Field Imager at ESO's La Silla Observatory in September 2008 M83 is a massive, grand design spiral galaxy . [ 10 ] Its morphological classification in the De Vaucouleurs system is SAB(s)c, [ 2 ] where the 'SAB' denotes a weak-barred spiral, '(s)' indicates a pure spiral structure with no ring, and 'c' means the ...
This is a list of known galaxies within 3.8 megaparsecs (12.4 million light-years) of the Solar System, in ascending order of heliocentric distance, or the distance to the Sun. This encompasses about 50 major Local Group galaxies, and some that are members of neighboring galaxy groups , the M81 Group and the Centaurus A/M83 Group , and some ...
Webb's First Deep Field was taken by the telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and is a composite produced from images at different wavelengths, totalling 12.5 hours of exposure time. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] SMACS 0723 is a galaxy cluster visible from Earth's Southern Hemisphere , [ 5 ] and has often been examined by Hubble and other telescopes in ...
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is an astronomical survey designed to constrain the properties of dark energy.It uses images taken in the near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared to measure the expansion of the universe using Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, the number of galaxy clusters, and weak gravitational lensing.

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).
Galaxy-galaxy lensing is a specific type of weak (and occasionally strong) gravitational lensing, in which the foreground object responsible for distorting the shapes of background galaxies is itself an individual field galaxy (as opposed to a galaxy cluster or the large-scale structure of the cosmos). Of the three typical mass regimes in weak ...
UGC 6614 is a member of a small group of 3 galaxies known as [T2015] nest 100958. [T2015] nest 100958 has a velocity dispersion of 244 km/s and an estimated mass of 1.38 × 10 13 M ☉. Other members of the group incude its brightest member, NGC 3767, and CGCG 097-024. [16] The group is part of the Coma Supercluster. [17] [18] [19]
