   Vigorous Black Hole Is Most Distant Ever Found. A team studying GN-z11 with Webb found the first clear evidence that the galaxy is hosting a central, supermassive black hole that is rapidly accreting matter. Their finding makes this the farthest active supermassive black hole spotted to date.

   Why do we see a galaxy so far away?

   • We see these very distance objects in the past, because of the amount of time it takes light to reach us. It's not just really far away, but it's also huge. Webb measures the galaxy to be more than 1,600 light years across. The James Webb telescope eventually cost a whopping $10bn to build - that's around £7.5bn!

   Which galaxy is closest to the Milky Way?

   • The Andromeda Galaxy, also called Messier 31 or M31, is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It is 2.5 million light years away from Earth and is the other major member of the Local Group, our local collection of galaxies. Like the Milky Way, it is a barred spiral galaxy, so-called for the bar-like structure formed by the stars in its center.

   Where are galaxies located?

   • Galaxies are massive collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems. Our solar system is in a galaxy called the Milky Way. Other galaxies in space are really far away. How can the James Webb telescope see back in time?

   Are the farthest galaxies illusory?

   • Unsurprisingly, Robertson says, the farthest galaxies are the hardest to accurately observe and verify; their qualities can be the most fascinating yet deserve the most skepticism. JADES-GS-z14-0 was no exception to this rule; at first, Hainline thought it was just one half of another galaxy. With closer examination, he found that to be illusory.

   Can a dwarf Galaxie be found behind the Milky Way?

   • Nearby dwarf galaxies are still being discovered, and galaxies located behind the central plane of the Milky Way are extremely difficult to discern. It is possible for any galaxy to mask another located beyond it. Intergalactic distance measurements are subject to large uncertainties.

   What is the most distant galaxy?

   • Follow-up measurements have revealed that one in particular, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the pullout), is the most distant known galaxy; we see it here as it appeared some 290 million years after the big bang.

   GN-z11 is a high-redshift galaxy found in the constellation Ursa Major. It is among the farthest known galaxies from Earth ever discovered. [5] [6] The 2015 discovery was published in a 2016 paper headed by Pascal Oesch and Gabriel Brammer (Cosmic Dawn Center).
