Maisie's Galaxy (also known as CEERS J141946.36+525632.8) is a distant galaxy located at z=11.4 that existed 390 million years after the beginning of the universe.

Background[edit]

Discovered in 2022 using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in the CEERS field, Maisie's Galaxy has high star formation rates.[1][2] It was named after the nine-year-old daughter of the person who discovered it.[3]

In February 2023, the CEERS teams followed up their high-redshift candidates with observatory’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument to measure precise, spectroscopic redshifts. One candidate (Maisie’s Galaxy) has been confirmed to be at redshift 11.4 (when the universe was 390 million years old), while the second candidate was discovered to actually be at a lower redshift of 4.9 (when the universe was 1.2 billion years old.)[4]
