Most distant object by type Type Object Redshift (distance) Notes Any astronomical object, no matter what type JADES-GS-z14-0: z = 14.32 Most distant galaxy with a spectroscopically confirmed redshift as of 2024. [8] Galaxy or protogalaxy: Galaxy cluster: CL J1001+0220: z ≅ 2.506 As of 2016 [73
A star is a massive luminous spheroid astronomical object made of plasma that is held together by its own gravity.Stars exhibit great diversity in their properties (such as mass, volume, velocity, stage in stellar evolution, and distance from Earth) and some of the outliers are so disproportionate in comparison with the general population that they are considered extreme.

With the help of two powerful radio telescopes, astronomers spotted the gigantic two-lobed jet, which spans at least 200,000 light-years. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year ...
The objects emitted large amounts of radiation of many frequencies, but no source could be located optically, or in some cases only a faint and point-like object somewhat like a distant star. The spectral lines of these objects, which identify the chemical elements of which the object is composed, were also extremely strange and defied explanation.
NASA's powerful Webb Telescope has spotted more than 40 ancient stars in a distant galaxy, researchers said in a new study. The study, published Monday in Nature, said the researchers used a ...
