The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the most distant galaxy ever confirmed, named JADES-GS-z14-0, which appears as it existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang.

JWST has been repeatedly breaking its own records for the most distant galaxies since beginning operations in 2022

Over here in 'murica, the only news that makes headlines is about either Biden, Trump, Musk, or mass shootings. 🙄

Not even that. With about two mass shootings per day on average, most mass shootings don't make the news.

A "mass shooting" has four or more people being hit, which happens about 800 times a year in the US. And about once a year in other western countries, if at all.
