<ul><li>Astronomers have discovered oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, challenging our understanding of early galaxy formation.</li><li>JADES-GS-z14-0 was found so far away that its light took 13.4 billion years to reach Earth, allowing us to observe the galaxy as it looked when the universe was only 300 million years old.</li><li>The discovery was made using the powerful ALMA telescope, which detected unexpectedly high levels of oxygen in the ancient galaxy. The findings suggest that galaxies may have formed and evolved much faster than previously thought.</li><li>This discovery provides new insights into the early evolution of galaxies and highlights the importance of combining observations from telescopes like JWST and ALMA.</li></ul>
