SPT0615-JD is a galaxy situated within the constellation Pictor, and is the farthest galaxy ever imaged by means of gravitational lensing. [1][2]
The galaxy was identified in the Hubble telescope Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey (RELICS) and companion S-RELICS Spitzer program and is at the limits of Hubble's detection capabilities. [3] Brett Salmon of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore was the lead scientist of the study of the galaxy. [3]
"JD" is short for "J-band Dropout" (the galaxy is not detected in the so called J-band (F125W) [4] The observed image is of 13.3 billion years ago, indicating the galaxy existed when the universe was about only 500 million years in existence. [3] The galaxy is less than 2,500 light-years across. [3]
