ALMA Detects Oxygen in Farthest Known Galaxy

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected oxygen in the most distant confirmed galaxy ever found, JADES-GS-z14-0. This detection, made by two different teams, suggests the galaxy is much more chemically mature than expected.
