English: In a survey of 100,000 galaxies (called Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science, or CEERS), Webb spotted the most distant active supermassive black hole to date, plus two more small early black holes and 11 early galaxies. All of these objects existed in the first 1.1 billion years after the big bang.

This image: Research led by Seiji Fujimoto, a team member of Webb’s Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey, led to the identification of seven galaxies that existed when the universe was only 540 to 660 million years old. Three are shown above. CEERS 24 and CEERS 23 emitted their light 13.3 billion years ago, and CEERS 3 emitted its light 13.2 billion years ago. Credits: Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, Leah Hustak (STScI).

Image description: A graphic titled “Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey, Set of Extremely Distant Galaxies.” The graphic shows the redshift of three distant galaxies. At top right is the complete NIRCam image of the field. To its left is a pull out, which shows the locations of three galaxies, which are highlighted by tiny open white boxes. These are labeled NIRCam imaging. Three galaxies from this image are highlighted by larger open boxes and labeled: CEERS 24, 13.3 billion years; CEERS 23, 13.3 billion years; and CEERS 3, 13.2 billion years to indicate how far in the past the light was emitted. In the closeups, these galaxies appear blurry and red. Next to these images are three line graphs corresponding to the three highlighted galaxies. These are labeled NIRSpec Microshutter Array Spectroscopy. They show the shift in the position of hydrogen and oxygen emission lines to longer wavelengths as age of the light increases. |
