Summ:

  • The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the most distant galaxy ever confirmed, named JADES-GS-z14-0, which appears as it existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang.

  • The discovery of this surprisingly luminous and massive early galaxy challenges theories about how galaxies formed in the cosmic dawn

  • JWST has been repeatedly breaking its own records for the most distant galaxies since beginning operations in 2022

Does anyone have any good YouTube channels for these type of space discoveries?

PBS Space Time is pretty great

It's great but not really what they asked for. They don't really cover new things in that way, they go in depth about specific things with the most recent knowledge, not new discoveries like this post is about.

I really like Anton Petrov, he reviews individual papers as they are published. Not sure if he covered this one.

Good suggestions but none of them beats Anton Petrov IMO:

Just want to highlight this channel, it's a great resource and his group does a free weekly newsletter you can sign up for as well as the video version on his channel. He covers users questions on live streams a lot of times and goes in-depth with interviews and space topics covering just about everything.
