This is officially the OLDEST galaxy ever discovered!
It formed just 290 million years after the Big Bang - a baby! The galaxy, JADES GS z 14 – 0, is part of JWST’s sky survey looking across the sky for these primordial galaxies. Because it’s the oldest known galaxy, it’s now also the most distant known galaxy.
ALT Image description from JWST: A field of thousands of small galaxies of various shapes and colors on the black background of space. A bright, foreground star with diffraction spikes is at lower left. Near the image center, a tiny white box outlines a region and two diagonal lines lead to a box in the upper right. Within the box is a banana-shaped blob that is blueish-red in one half and distinctly red in the other half. An arrow points to the redder portion and is labeled “JADES GS z 14 – 0”.

Newton's first law visualised
Also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will stay at rest, (or if in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity)
unless acted upon by an external force.
