ChatGPT summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, observed as it was just 290 million years after the Big Bang. At this point, the universe was only 2% of its current age, which is approximately 13.8 billion years. The galaxy spans more than 1,600 light years and its brightness is attributed to young stars rather than a supermassive black hole. This rapid formation within such a short time raises questions about how such a massive galaxy emerged so early. The presence of oxygen in the galaxy suggests it has undergone multiple generations of star formation, indicating significant maturity despite its young cosmic age. The discovery underscores JWST's ability to probe the early universe, potentially observing galaxies from within the first 200 million years.

Ya, the most distant galaxy to-date was another great achievement for Webb.

I'm curious if this telescope could by the odd chance just see or detect a spacecraft randomly while it's doing its thing. Obviously that light could be travelling 100s or 1000s of years in the past dependent on how many light years.

Honestly would wish to know more about our closest star. Only 4 LY away.
