Limits RegistryPUBLIC RECORD
Limits RegistryJADES-GS-z14-0, identified by the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), was spectroscopically confirmed in 2024 at redshift z=14.32 — corresponding to roughly 290 million years after the Big Bang — making it the most distant galaxy with a confirmed spectroscopic redshift as of 2026. Photometric (unconfirmed) candidates at even higher apparent redshifts are regularly proposed as JWST deep surveys continue, so this exact record is expected to keep moving as spectroscopic follow-up catches up.

The highest redshift confirmed for any galaxy via spectroscopy, as verified by the most recent published measurement.
Change a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
This record has no editable parameters. Read the formal question and assumptions before challenging it.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
