<ul><li>The James Webb Space Telescope has detected oxygen in the most distant known galaxy named JADES-GS-z14-0.</li><li>This discovery challenges our understanding of the early universe as stars were not expected to have produced heavy elements like oxygen at that time.</li><li>JADES-GS-z14-0 formed very rapidly and is maturing faster than astronomers anticipated, indicating that galaxy formation occurs at a faster pace than previously thought.</li><li>The detection of oxygen in the galaxy allows for precise distance measurements and contributes to refining our understanding of distant galaxy properties.</li></ul>
