GN-z11 Galaxy
GN-z11 is a high-redshift galaxy that has been observed to exist approximately 400 million years after the Big Bang. Located in the constellation Ursa Major, it is one of the most distant known galaxies and provides valuable insights into the early universe.
- Discovered through observations by Hubble Space Telescope.
- Holds significant interest for scientists studying cosmic reionization era.
- GN-z11’s brightness indicates a high star formation rate compared to other young galaxies in its epoch.
- Evidence suggests it contains over 1 billion solar masses of stars packed into a diameter that is one-sixth the size of Milky Way.
