MACS0647-JD is a galaxy with a redshift of about z = 10.7, equivalent to a light travel distance of 13.26 billion light-years (4 billion parsecs). If the distance estimate is correct, it formed about 427 million years after the Big Bang.[2][3][4][5]

MACS0647-JD is very young and only a tiny fraction of the size of the Milky Way.[6]
