NASA's "James Webb Space Telescope" (JWST) has captured an image of the galaxy "GLASS-z13", a galaxy estimated to be around 13.5 billion years old. This would make GLASS-z13 the oldest galaxy observed by mankind, beating out the previous record holder "GN-z11" by 100 million years.

JWST's current position can be tracked on NASA's "Where is Webb?" page.
